Easy Web App (for Python)

Create web applications easily.

This is a PyPI package for the rest-web-gui framework.

Focus is on web applications (not simple web pages). A lot of plug-ins are available to get a portal it quickly configured:

• Forms

• Tables / lists

• Content: via MediaWiki API, plain HTML views, or help dialogs

• I/O: control switches/drawer, gauges, graphs, LEDs, displays, …

• i18n: switch language

• Maps: POIs, routes, traffic, …

• Page to page navigation with navigation tabs, menus, links and session data

• Source code display

• Security: HTTP Basic authentication or OAuth

• …

This is how it may look like:

Remark: It is also available as Node.js API package.

Getting started

Prepare:

1. Create a web application project folder, e.g. mkdir ~/myapp

2. Create a virtual Python environment for this folder: virtualenv ~/myapp

3. Change into the project folder and activate the virtual environment: cd ~/myapp; source bin\activate

4. Install this package: _TBD_

Create first web app with Python:

Create a file, e.g. firstapp.py

# Copyright (c) 2016 ma-ha, The MIT License (MIT)
import webapp

# initialize portal
portal = Portal( 8000, { 'title':'Test' } )

# define a custom web service
portal.addURL( '/greet', 'greet' )
class greet:
    def GET( self ):
        return 'Hello World!'

# start the web server
portal.run()
