Bedframe 0.13.5

Installation

A Bedframe service runs on an underlying web server. Support for each particular web server is provided via a corresponding plugin. Bedframe releases include some web server plugins, which are activated by installing their corresponding package extras. These are the currently supported extras:

tornado

Support for the Tornado web server (via tornado.web.Application).

tornado_wsgi

Support for the Tornado WSGI web server (via tornado.wsgi.WSGIApplication).

For example, to install Bedframe with support for the Tornado WSGI web server, you can run

pip install bedframe[tornado_wsgi]

In addition, Bedframe supports these other extras:

ldap

Support for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for authentication (via python-ldap).

memcached

Support for memcached for authentication (via python-memcached).

test_ldap

Support for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for automated testing (via Spruce-ldap and OpenLDAP).

Examples

“Hello, world” service

import bedframe as _bedframe
import bedframe.webtypes as _webtypes

class HelloWorldResource(_bedframe.WebResource):
    @_bedframe.webmethod(_webtypes.unicode)
    def get(self):
        return u'Hello, world!'

service = _bedframe.WebService(uris=('http://localhost:8080',))
service.resources[r'/helloworld'] = HelloWorldResource
service.start()

Example usage (Napper):

>>> import bedframe.webtypes as _webtypes
>>> import napper as _napper
>>> uri = 'http://localhost:8080/helloworld'
>>> response = _napper.request_uri('get', uri)
>>> hello = _napper.extract_retval(response, _webtypes.unicode)
>>> print hello
Hello, world!

Example usage (Requests):

>>> import requests as _requests
>>> uri = 'http://localhost:8080/helloworld'
>>> headers = {'Accept': ', '.join(('application/json', '*/*; q=0.01'))}
>>> response = _requests.get(uri, headers=headers)
>>> hello = response.json()['retval']
>>> print hello
Hello, world!

Example usage (HTTPie):

$ uri='http://localhost:8080/helloworld'
$ http get "$uri" Accept:'application/json,*/*; q=0.01' --body
{
    "auth_info": {
        "accepted": null,
