Plinx

Plinx is an experimental, minimalistic, and extensible WSGI-based web framework and ORM written in Python.
It is designed to be simple, fast, and easy to extend, making it ideal for rapid prototyping and educational purposes.

Features

• 🚀 Minimal and fast WSGI web framework
• 💾 Integrated Object-Relational Mapper (ORM)
• 🛣️ Intuitive routing system (including parameterized and class-based routes)
• 🧩 Extensible middleware support
• 🧪 Simple, readable codebase for learning and hacking
• 📝 Type hints and modern Python best practices

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install Plinx

Install directly from the git source:

pip install git+https://github.com/dhavalsavalia/plinx.git

Quickstart

Create a simple web application in seconds:

# myapp.py
from plinx import Plinx

app = Plinx()

@app.route("/")
def index(request, response):
    response.text = "Hello, Plinx 1.0.1!"

# Example using the ORM (requires database setup)
# from plinx.orm import Database, Table, Column
# db = Database("my_database.db")
# class Item(Table):
#     name = Column(str)
#     count = Column(int)
# db.create(Item)
# db.save(Item(name="Example", count=1))

Run your app using a WSGI server (like gunicorn):

pip install gunicorn
gunicorn myapp:app

Testing
