Front Matter
============
Information about the Alembic project.
Project Homepage
================
Alembic is hosted on `Bitbucket <http://bitbucket.org>`_ - the lead project
page is at https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/alembic. Source code is tracked here
using `Git <http://git-scm.com/>`_.
.. versionchanged:: 0.6
The source repository was moved from Mercurial to Git.
Releases and project status are available on Pypi at
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/alembic.
The most recent published version of this documentation should be at
http://alembic.readthedocs.org/.
Project Status
==============
Alembic is currently in beta status and is expected to be fairly
stable. Users should take care to report bugs and missing features
(see :ref:`bugs`) on an as-needed
basis. It should be expected that the development version may be required
for proper implementation of recently repaired issues in between releases;
the latest master is always available at https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/alembic/get/master.tar.gz.
.. _installation:
Installation
============
Install released versions of Alembic from the Python package index with `pip <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip>`_ or a similar tool::
pip install alembic
Installation via source distribution is via the ``setup.py`` script::
python setup.py install
The install will add the ``alembic`` command to the environment. All operations with Alembic
then proceed through the usage of this command.
Dependencies
------------
Alembic's install process will ensure that SQLAlchemy_
is installed, in addition to other dependencies. Alembic will work with
SQLAlchemy as of version **0.7.3**, however more features are available with
newer versions such as the 0.9 or 1.0 series.
Alembic supports Python versions 2.6 and above.
Community
=========
Alembic is developed by `Mike Bayer <http://techspot.zzzeek.org>`_, and is
loosely associated with the SQLAlchemy_, `Pylons <http://www.pylonsproject.org>`_,
and `Openstack <http://www.openstack.org>`_ projects.
User issues, discussion of potential bugs and features should be posted
to the Alembic Google Group at `sqlalchemy-alembic <https://groups.google.com/group/sqlalchemy-alembic>`_.
