importd 0.2.5

a django based miniframework, inspired by sinatra

What is it?

Django is awesome, but starting a new project in it is a pain. importd 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}

if __name__ == "__main__":
    d.main()

To run it:

$ python foo.py

This will start the debug server.

To run it in production:

$ gunicorn foo:d

Some examples: https://github.com/amitu/importd/tree/master/examples

Backward Incompatibility Change

d.main() used to be not required, now it is.

Features

• supports smarturls

• 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 “static” folder in foo.py to serve static content

• management commands still available: $ python foo.py shell

• wsgi compliant
