-pyramid_cubicweb_ is one specific way of integrating CubicWeb_ with a
-Pyramid_ web application.
-
-Features
-========
-
-* provides a default route that let a cubicweb instance handle the request.
-
-Usage
-=====
-
-To use, install ``pyramid_cubicweb`` in your python environment, and
-then include_ the package::
-
-    config.include('pyramid_cubicweb')
-
-    
-Configuration
-=============
-
-Requires the following `INI setting / environment variable`_:
-
-* `cubicweb.instance` / `CW_INSTANCE`: the cubicweb instance name
-
-Authentication cookies
-----------------------
-
-When using the `pyramid_cubicweb.auth` (CubicWeb AuthTkt
-authentication policy), which is the default in most cases, you may
-have to configure the behaviour of these authentication policies using
-standard's Pyramid configuration. You may want to configure in your
-``pyramid.ini``:
-
-:Session Authentication:
-
-    This is a `AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy`_ so you may overwrite default
-    configuration values by adding configuration entries using the prefix
-    ``cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session``. Default values are:
-
-    ::
-
-        cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.hashalg = sha512
-        cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.cookie_name = auth_tkt
-        cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.timeout = 1200
-        cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.reissue_time = 120
-        cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.http_only = True
-        cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.secure = True
-
-
-:Persistent Authentication:
-
-    This is also a `AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy`_. It is used when persistent
-    sessions are activated (typically when using the cubicweb-rememberme_
-    cube). You may overwrite default configuration values by adding
-    configuration entries using the prefix
-    ``cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent``. Default values are:
-
-    ::
-
-        cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.hashalg = sha512
-        cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.cookie_name = pauth_tkt
-        cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.max_age = 3600*24*30
-        cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.reissue_time = 3600*24
-        cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.http_only = True
-        cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.secure = True
-
-
-.. Warning:: Legacy timeout values from the instance's
-             ``all-in-one.conf`` are **not** used at all (``
-             http-session-time`` and ``cleanup-session-time``)
-
-Please refer to the documentation_ for more details (available in the
-``docs`` directory of the source code).

-Command
-=======
-
-Summary
--------
-
-Add the 'pyramid' command to cubicweb-ctl".
-
-This cube also add a ``CWSession`` entity type so that sessions can be
-stored in the database, which allows to run a Cubicweb instance
-without having to set up a session storage (like redis or memcache)
-solution.
-
-However, for production systems, it is greatly advised to use such a
-storage solution for the sessions.
-
-The handling of the sessions is made by pyramid (see the
-`pyramid's documentation on sessions`_ for more details).
-
-For example, to set up a redis based session storage, you need the
-`pyramid-redis-session`_ package, then you must configure pyramid to
-use this backend, by configuring the ``pyramid.ini`` file in the instance's
-config directory (near the ``all-in-one.conf`` file):
-
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-   [main]
-   cubicweb.defaults = no # we do not want to load the default cw session handling
-
-   cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.secret = <secret1>
-   cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.secret = <secret2>
-   cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.secure = yes
-   cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.secure = yes
-
-   redis.sessions.secret = <secret3>
-   redis.sessions.prefix = <my-app>:
-
-   redis.sessions.url = redis://localhost:6379/0
-
-   pyramid.includes =
-           pyramid_redis_sessions
-           pyramid_cubicweb.auth
-           pyramid_cubicweb.login
-
-
-See the documentation of `Pyramid Cubicweb`_ for more details.
-
-.. Warning:: If you want to be able to log in a CubicWeb application
-             served by pyramid on a unsecured stream (typically when
-             you start an instance in dev mode using a simple
-             ``cubicweb-ctl pyramid -D -linfo myinstance``), you
-             **must** set ``cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.secure`` to
-             ``no``.
-
-Secrets
-~~~~~~~
-
-There are a number of secrets to configure in ``pyramid.ini``. They
-should be different one from each other, as explained in `Pyramid's
-documentation`_.
-
-For the record:
-
-:cubicweb.session.secret: This secret is used to encrypt the session's
-   data ID (data themselved are stored in the backend, database or
-   redis) when using the integrated (``CWSession`` based) session data
-   storage.
-
-:redis.session.secret: This secret is used to encrypt the session's
-   data ID (data themselved are stored in the backend, database or
-   redis) when using redis as backend.
-
-:cubicweb.auth.authtkt.session.secret: This secret is used to encrypt
-   the authentication cookie.
-
-:cubicweb.auth.authtkt.persistent.secret: This secret is used to
-   encrypt the persistent authentication cookie.
