pyroutes 0.3.0

A small WSGI wrapper for creating small python web apps

A really small framework for rapid development of small python web applications

Why?

I got tired of dealing with the same boring WSGI-stuff everytime I wanted to make a small web-utility in django, but I didn’t want to go to far away from it, so I made this little thing to ease the work a bit.

How it works

The core of the system is WSGI, and a decorator called @route. You simple create add a route decorator in front of the function you want to handle requests to a certain path. pyroutes always tries to use the most specified path-handler available for the request. That means @route('/foo/bar') will always be used over @route('/foo') given that request path is /foo/bar or longer that is :-) Notice that paths have to be given without a trailing slash.

Example:

@route('/')
def index(request):
    return Response('Hello world!')

Templating

pyroutes includes a small xml-based templating system called xml-template. For more information about xml-template, check out its bzr-repo from http://bzr.sesse.net/xml-template XML-Template is released under the GPLv2 license.

For more information about usage, see the wiki example.
