Expanse: the limitless Python web framework

Expanse is a modern and elegant web application framework.

At the heart of its design and architecture is and always will be the developer experience. Expanse wants to get out of your way and let you build what matters by giving you intuitive and powerful tools like transparent dependency injection, a powerful database component (powered by SQLAlchemy), queues (Coming soon), authentication (Coming soon), authorization (Coming soon), and more.

Installation

To leverage all Expanse has to offer, it is best to setup your project with the official installer. The installer creates the project with a convention-based structure that lets you start implementing features right away.

Before creating your first project, make sure that you have Python (minimum version: 3.11) installed on your machine along with pipx.

Once both are installed, you can use the official Expanse CLI to create your project:

pipx install expanse-cli

expanse new my-app

Now that you project is created, you can start the development server via the Craft serve command:

cd my-app

./beam serve

Your application is now available at http://localhost:8000, and you are ready to start building you project.

Documentation

Documentation for the current version of Expanse (as well as the development branch and recently out of support versions) is available from the official website.

Contribute

Expanse is a large, complex project always in need of contributors. For those new to the project, a list of suggested issues to work on is available. The full contributing documentation also provides helpful guidance.
