A backend HTTP framework for Python.
Project description
Backpipe
Back-Ends simplified.
pip install backpipe
Info
Backpipe tries to support all operating systems.
But its primary focus lies on Linux support,
as it is the main choice for website hosting.
Running it on Windows might lead to issues and is not recommended.
Why the name?
The name 'Backpipe' is inspired by the english word 'Bagpipe'.
I decided to call it 'Backpipe', because it is a Back-End Framework.
It is just a little pun.
Samples
Hello World!
import backpipe
server = backpipe.BackPipe()
@server.get
def hello_world(r: backpipe.Request):
return (200, "Hello World")
server.run()
What is my IP address?
import backpipe
server = backpipe.BackPipe()
@server.get
def my_ip_address(r: backpipe.Request):
return (200, r.address)
server.run()
Complex Example
import backpipe
server = backpipe.BackPipe()
@server.any
def wrong_method(r: backpipe.Request):
return (405, f"Wrong method: {r.method}, use POST.")
@server.unknown
def unknown_method(r: backpipe.Request):
return (405, f"Unknown method: {r.method}, use POST.")
@server.post
def login(r: backpipe.Request):
try:
if r.headers["key"] == "password1234":
return (200, "Password correct!")
else:
return (304, "Password wrong!")
except KeyError:
return (400, "invalid request, 'key' header missing.")
server.run()
Using Request Bodies
import backpipe
server = backpipe.BackPipe()
@server.post
def respond(r: backpipe.Request):
return (200, r.body) # Returns the clients's request body
server.run()
Known issues
- URI-too-long message raises error on client-side when using Python requests
- Limited client information on URI-too-long message (probably unfixable.)
