HipPocket 0.1.0-alpha

What is it?

HipPocket is a collection of convenience wrappers for the already intensely useful Flask web framework.

It provides:

Mapper

Enable centralized URL mapping

LateLoader

Taken from Flask’s documentation

and of course HipPocket

A wrapper to enable running setup tasks on a Flask application at startup.

HipPocket itself also comes with two pre-defined tasks:

autoload

Load blueprints from a package and auto-register them with Flask To add a new blueprint to an autoloading application simply drop in a sub-package and reload your server (remember, since you are use Mapper your startup times should be significantly decreased.)

setup_errors

Add basic error responses for all HTTP error codes.

Can I use it?

It depends on your requirements. Some things to consider:

• HipPocket is licenced under the MIT licence so it’s free to use for almost any purpose.

• It is currently pre-alpha software.

• It has not tests (yet).

• It has no documentation (aside from its docstrings).

• Its API is not stable.

• It is actively accepting patches and feedback.
