What is importd?
Slides of a talk I gave about importd: http://amitu.com/importd/
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
Examples
Simple example : https://github.com/amitu/importd/tree/master/examples
importd-boilerplate : https://github.com/if1live/importd-boilerplate
importd + jinja2 + django-debug-toolbar + django REST framework
Backward Incompatibile Change
d.main() used to be not required, now it is.
Features
fully compatible with django
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 “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/)
Auto Add django-debug-toolbar (Needs to add it manually to INSTALLED_APPS)
Auto SECRET_KEY: If no SECRET_KEY on settings, try to read SECRET_KEY from ./secret.txt , if no ./secret.txt generate a random string then write it to ./secret.txt and finally return it as SECRET_KEY.
Auto Add coffin/django-jinja (jinja2 integration)
Installation
$ pip install importd
