A framework for building python cgi scripts

Project description

CGI Wrapper

This is a lightweight, extensible framework for writing CGI scripts in python.

Install

pip install cgiw

Use

This package takes care of parsing the query, headers and body (if post). It parses some basic mime types such as application/json and application/x-www-form-urlencoded, and allows the developer to use custom parsers. All handlers must return a tuple containing three items: the status string, a dictionary of headers, and the body. There are some basic response functions implemented to avoid having to construct this tuple from scratch.

Example

Here is an example that demonstrates the functionality of the framework.

#!/bin/python3

from cgiw import run
from cgiw.responses import redirect
from cgiw.decorators import wrap_headers, wrap_body 


def process_headers(headers):
    # do stuff
    return headers

def process_body(body):
    # do stuff
    return body

@wrap_headers(process_headers)
@wrap_body(process_body)
def handler(query, headers, body):
    # do stuff
    return redirect('/test', {'query': 'string'})

run(post=handler)
