A note about doing the Pyramid tutorial

I wanted to know a little more about Pyramid and [Tutorial](http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/ pyramid / en / latest / quick_tutorial / index.html) I tried. It is a memo of the stumbled part.

Prelude: Quick Project Startup with Scaffolds

I intended to follow the procedure, but I got an error.

The cause was that something other than pyramid installed in virtualenv was used.

% which pserve
/usr/local/bin/pserve

Once I uninstalled the pyramid that was installed on my system and the virtualenv one was used, the above error no longer occurred. See also

% which pserve
