a django based miniframework, inspired by sinatra
Project description
What is it?
Django is awesome, but starting a new project in it is a pain. amitu.d is inspired from ruby’s sinatra. Hello world django project:
from importd import d
d(DEBUG=True)
@d("/")
def idx(request):
return "index.html"
@d("/post/<int:post_id">/")
def post(request, post_id):
return "post.html", {"post_id": post_id}
To run it:
$ python foo.py
This will start the debug server.
To run it in production:
$ gunicorn foo:d
An example app: https://github.com/amitu/importd/blob/master/foo.py
Features
fully compatible with django
easier url construction eg “/edit/<int:id>/” instead of “^edit/(?P<id>d+)/$”
most of regularly used django functions and classes available in d. namespace, eg d.HttpResponse, d.render_to_response, d.get_object_or_404 etc
automatically maps “templates” folder in foo.py directory to serve templates
automatically maps “static” folder in foo.py to serve static content
management commands still available: $ python foo.py shell
wsgi compliant
gunicorn support
works seamlessly with fhurl (http://packages.python.org/fhurl/)
Installation
$ easy_install importd
Documentation
docs: http://packages.python.org/importd/ (coming soon)
ToDo/Known Issues
figure our whats going on with double imports
figure out whats going on when gunicorn exits
