pykite 0.3.0

A Python-centric micro-framework for building web applications

PyKite: A research and development initiative for crafting a Python-centric micro framework.

Features

• Route Definition: Define routes using the @app.route(path) decorator.

• HTTP Request Handling: Create handler functions for each route to process and respond to incoming HTTP requests.

• Development Server: Start a development server with a single command, making it easy to test your application locally.

• Basic Error Handling: Includes a default 404 response for routes that are not found.

Installation

To get started with PyKite, follow these steps:

pip install pykite

Run the application

1. Create a Python script for your web application using PyKite. Define routes and handlers as needed.
2. Run your application using the run method:

from pykite import PyKite
from pykite.http.response import Response

# Create a PyKite application
app = PyKite(debug=True)


# Define a route for the '/' path
@app.route('/')
def index(request, response):
    """Respond with a JSON object containing the message "Hello, World!" to all requests to the '/' path."""
    data = {"message": "Hello, World!"}
    response = Response(data=data, status=200)
    return response


@app.route('/hello/{name}')
def hello(request, response, name):
    """ Took a name from the URL and responds with a friendly greeting in JSON."""
    data = {"message": f"Hello, {name}"}
    response = Response(data=data, status=200)
    return response


# Run the application
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

3. Access your application in a web browser at http://localhost:8000.
