A light-weight wsgi web framework

Eynnyd Web Framework (Beta)

Eynnyd (pronounced [Ey-nahyd]) is an acronym for Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't. It is a light-weight WSGI compliant python 3 web framework. Eynnyd was designed with the primary goal to not impose bad engineering decisions on it's users. It is also designed to not overstep or assume the wants of it's user.

Simplicity and Freedom is the Design

This is the framework for you if the following sound good:

• You are permitted but not coerced into following REST.
• A request handler takes a request and returns a response.
• A request interceptor takes a request and returns a request.
• A response interceptor takes a request and a response and returns a response.
• You can have any number of request interceptors, request handlers, or response interceptors.
• You can name your handler methods anything you want.
• You can limit the scope (paths it applies to) of any interceptor.
• We do not provide extraneous dependencies or opinions (like database connection libraries or templating engines)
• There is no Eynnyd way to do things.
• There is nothing clever or magic. (like global singletons or special decorators)
• You can see your entire routing layout, succinctly, in your main.

If this at all sounds good we recommend you keep reading and see what else Eynnyd can provide for you.

How to use it

Eynnyd does not come with a built in WSGI HTTP server. We recommend gunicorn for running your application.

A simple hello world example looks like:

# hello_world_app.py
from eynnyd import RoutesBuilder
from eynnyd import EynnydWebappBuilder
from eynnyd import ResponseBuilder
from http import HTTPStatus

def hello_world(request):
    return ResponseBuilder()\
        .set_status(HTTPStatus.OK)\
        .set_utf8_body("Hello World")\
        .build()


def build_application():
    routes = \
        RoutesBuilder()\
            .add_handler("GET", "/hello", hello_world)\
            .build()

    return EynnydWebappBuilder()\
            .set_routes(routes)\
            .build()

application = build_application()

Using gunicorn this can now be run gunicorn hello_world_app.

An example with interceptors

# hello_world_app.py
import logging

from eynnyd import RoutesBuilder
from eynnyd import EynnydWebappBuilder
from eynnyd import ResponseBuilder
from http import HTTPStatus

LOG = logging.getLogger("hello_world_app")

def hello_world(request):
    return ResponseBuilder()\
        .set_status(HTTPStatus.OK)\
        .set_utf8_body("Hello World")\
        .build()

def log_request(request):
    LOG.info("Got Request: {r}".format(r=request))
    return request

def log_response(request, response):
    LOG.info("Built Response: {s} for Request: {r}".format(s=response, r=request))
    return response

def build_application():
    routes = \
        RoutesBuilder()\
            .add_request_interceptor("/hello", log_request)\
            .add_handler("GET", "/hello", hello_world)\
            .add_response_interceptor("/hello", log_response)\
            .build()

    return EynnydWebappBuilder()\
            .set_routes(routes)\
            .build()

application = build_application()

FAQ

Another WSGI web framework? Why not just fix (or add on to) an existing one?

We tried that first. Our contribution was deemed "too big" to merge. We decided to go the more direct route and build our own.

What about speed? How fast are you compared to other frameworks?

We are first prioritizing code quality and correctness. Once we nail those we will worry about speed.

What python versions do you support and why?

We use functools.lru_cache() which limits us to python >3.2 but since python 2 is about to be deprecated we feel this isn't a limiting constraint.
