Python Pyramid - Environment Setup

It is recommended that the Pyramid package be installed on a system having Python 3.6 or above version installed. Pyramid can be installed on Linux, MacOS as well as Windows platform. Simplest way of installing it is by using PIP installer, preferably under a Python virtual environment.

pip3 install pyramid

Although a Pyramid web application can be run using the built-in WSGI development server that is a part of the wsgiref module, it is not recommended for use in production environment. Hence, we also install Waitress, a production-quality pure-Python WSGI server (also a part of Pylons project).

pip3 install waitress

This will install Pyramid (ver 2.0), Waitress (ver 2.1.2) in addition to other dependencies from Pylon project such that WebOb, PasteDeploy, and others. To check what gets installed, run pip freeze command.
