plaster-pastedeploy
A loader implementing the PasteDeploy syntax to be used by plaster.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package has low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, permissive licensing, and active maintenance. It is a stable, production-ready solution for applications that already use plaster and PasteDeploy or are adopting the Pylons ecosystem's configuration conventions. Install it if your application needs to load WSGI configuration from INI files; skip it if you use a different configuration framework or format.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction with only two runtime dependencies (plaster and PasteDeploy).
- The package is actively maintained with a recent commit history and supports current Python versions (3.7–3.10, including PyPy).

What it is and what it does
plaster_pastedeploy is a plugin for the plaster configuration framework that enables loading and parsing INI files according to the PasteDeploy standard. It implements the WSGI protocol interface, allowing applications to retrieve WSGI applications, filters, servers, and configuration settings from named sections in an INI file. The plugin bridges plaster's generic loader interface with PasteDeploy's specific INI syntax, supporting features like default value interpolation, environment variable injection, and logging configuration.
The package is typically used in web application frameworks (particularly Pyramid and other Pylons projects) to centralize application configuration. Developers call plaster.get_loader() with a URI pointing to an INI file, then use methods like get_wsgi_app() or get_settings() to retrieve configured components. The returned settings objects carry both local config and global defaults, plus a reference to the loader itself.
Use it for
- Load WSGI application instances from INI configuration files in Pyramid or other Pylons-based web frameworks.
- Retrieve application settings and defaults from named sections in a PasteDeploy-format INI file for initialization.
- Configure WSGI filters and middleware chains by parsing filter definitions from an INI configuration source.
- Set up and start WSGI servers defined in an INI file without hardcoding server parameters in application code.
- Manage logging configuration alongside application settings by parsing logging setup from a single INI file.
