keepup

Project page · Package · Changes

An admin framework over FastAPI. You give it settings; it gives you an application with a panel, a plugin runtime, users, a database layer, an audit, metrics and coordination between replicas already wired.

from keepup import KeepupSettings, create_app

app = create_app(KeepupSettings(title="Your product", project_name="yours"))

That is a running application with a working panel at /selfcare: the shell, the themes and eight administrative sections ship inside the package, so there is nothing to copy into your tree to see them.

Installed as keepup-admin; imported as keepup. The name keepup on PyPI belongs to an unrelated project from 2015 that installs a script and no module, so the import name is free.

What it gives you

What it does not decide for you

The framework carries no product. Anything it cannot know arrives through KeepupSettings: your name and version, where your logs are shipped, which fields of a request are secret, what a password must look like, which tables belong to you, which origins may read your answers.

Where a default would have to guess, it closes rather than opens. Metrics are not served without credentials, no origin is allowed cross-origin, the audit keeps field names and not values, and there is no collector address, no signing key and no password anywhere in the source. An application says what it needs open; the package does not decide that on its behalf.

What is public

A module that an application may import from declares __all__. Everything else is internal and may change without notice — including any name starting with an underscore, whatever module it sits in.

keepup/tests/public_interface_tests.py holds this to the applications in the repository: a name taken out of the framework and not declared public fails the run, and the failure says what to do about it.

Requirements

Python 3.11 or newer. PostgreSQL in production; SQLite works and is meant for development. pip install keepup-admin[postgres] adds the driver the bus between replicas needs.

Tests

pip install -e ".[test]"
pytest tests/

Install first, then test. Pointing pytest at the checkout does not work on its own: import keepup has to resolve, and the directory a clone lands in is called keepup-admin, so nothing is named keepup until the package is installed. The test extra carries what the suite needs beyond the package — notably cryptography, which the framework itself never imports and the OIDC tests sign tokens with.

The suite runs against SQLite with no network, needs no application beside the package, and holds a coverage floor declared in pyproject.toml. Checks that genuinely need a consumer of the framework find one by trait and skip with a reason when there is none, so a skip here always says what is missing.

Every one of these runs on push and on a pull request; see .github/workflows/. security.yml also runs weekly, because that check goes red without anybody touching the repository — an advisory gets published against a version that was fine yesterday.

Licence

Apache 2.0. See LICENSE, and NOTICE for the attribution that clause 4(d) asks to travel with a derivative.

The panel's front end also ships five third-party bundles -- Tailwind, Feather, AOS, Chart.js and its date adapter. All five are MIT and stay under their own terms; minification stripped their headers, so their notices live in THIRD-PARTY.md.
