kessel 0.5.1

a minimal wsgi framework

kessel

What this is

Minimal dependency python wsgi-compatible web framework with the tried and tested fluid-container-inspired name. This is pretty crude, so I decided to go with 'kessel', german for 'cauldron'.

DISCLAIMER

This project is mainly a learning effort and should not be used in any reliability- oder security-critical context.

Features

• minimal web framework, can be anything you want.

• token auth with pyJWT

• modularisation can be achieved with recipes

• thread-local app context for handling current_user, current_request, etc.

• small and readable codebase
