The Pyramid Web Framework
=========================
-:app:`Pyramid` is a small, fast, down-to-earth Python web framework. It
-is developed as part of the `Pylons Project
-<http://docs.pylonsproject.org/>`_. It is licensed under a `BSD-like license
-<http://repoze.org/license.html>`_.

+developed as part of the `Pylons Project <https://pylonsproject.org>`_.
+It is licensed under a `BSD-like license <http://repoze.org/license.html>`_.
Here is one of the simplest :app:`Pyramid` applications you can make:
.. literalinclude:: narr/helloworld.py
After you install :app:`Pyramid` and run this application, when you visit
-`<http://localhost:8080/hello/world>`_ in a browser, you will see the text
-``Hello, world!``
+`<http://localhost:6543/>`_ in a browser, you will see the text
+``Hello World!`` See :ref:`firstapp_chapter` for a full explanation of how
+this application works.
-See :ref:`firstapp_chapter` for a full explanation of how this application
-works. Read the :ref:`html_narrative_documentation` to understand how
-:app:`Pyramid` is designed to scale from simple applications like this to
-very large web applications. To just dive in headfirst, read the
-:doc:`quick_tour`.
