pybald 0.5.7

A lightweight python web framework

Pybald

Pybald is a light weight, python, MVC style web framework. It is inspired by work done by Ian Bicking, and builds upon the concepts presented in Another do-it-yourself framework. It is also takes design inspiration from Ruby on Rails and Django.

The in-progress documentation

Pybald began life as an ultra-bare-bones framework but has evolved over time adding convenience methods, components and glue:

• Routes for dispatching and URL parsing
• Mako as the template engine.
• SqlAlchemy for data persistence and object mapping
• WTForms for automated form generation and validation
• A more complex WSGI decorator
• Some deploy infrastructure such as Apache and Nginx configuration templates
• Session Management, Simple Logging, and template helper functions

• Replace FormAlchemy with WTForms as the primary mechanism for form processing and validation
• Utilize controller and model registry.
• Global context is on a threadlocal stacked proxy to allow multiple pybald applications in one interpreter.
• Database session is now attached to the app context.

that looks like:

BUNDLE_SOURCE_PATHS = ['alternate_source_path', 'public']
BUNDLE_OUTPUT_PATH = '/some_path/public_files/'
