pesto 15

Library for WSGI applications

Pesto is a library for Python web applications. Its aim is to make writing WSGI web applications easy and fun. Pesto doesn’t constrain you – how you integrate with databases, what templating system you use or how you prefer to lay out your source files is up to you. Above all, pesto is small, well documented and well tested.

Pesto makes it easy to:

• Map any URI to any part of your application.

• Produce unicode aware, standards compliant WSGI applications.

• Interrogate WSGI request information – form variables and HTTP request headers.

• Create and manipulate HTTP headers, redirects, cookies etc.

• Integrate with any other WSGI application or middleware, giving you access to a vast and growing resource.
