Why P8s?

Django	FastAPI	P8s
Complete but legacy	Fast but fragmented	Best of both
Sync-first	Async-first	Async by default
Admin included	No admin	Django-style admin
No AI support	No AI support	AI is a primitive

P8s brings order to modern Python development.

Code Example

from p8s import Model
from p8s.ai import AIField, VectorField
from p8s.admin import register_model
from sqlmodel import Field

@register_model
class Product(Model, table=True):
    name: str = Field(index=True)
    description: str

    # AI-generated SEO description
    seo_description: str | None = AIField(
        prompt="Generate SEO description for {name}: {description}",
        source_fields=["name", "description"],
    )

    # Vector embedding for similarity search
    embedding: list[float] | None = VectorField(
        source_field="description"
    )

    class Admin:
        list_display = ["name", "created_at"]
        search_fields = ["name"]

Forms Example

from p8s.forms import Form, ModelForm, CharField, EmailField

class ContactForm(Form):
    name: str = CharField(max_length=100)
    email: str = EmailField()
    message: str

form = ContactForm.from_data(request.form)
if form.is_valid():
    send_email(form.data)
