Quickstart

Install python-web-io locally using:

pip install python-web-io

Or via poetry using:

poetry add python_web_io

If evaluating / testing python-web-io, install dependencies for the example apps using:

poetry add python_web_io --with examples

After installing the project, some environment setup is required:

Required setup

Create an app.py file containing your script, and an .envrc file to store project secrets. (Note: remember to add .envrc to your .gitignore) Look for example apps in ./python_web_io/examples.

.
├── .envrc
├── config.toml
└── app.py

Add the following environment variables to your .envrc. (Note: remember to activate the .envrc in your terminal using direnv allow)

# server env vars
export PYTHON_WEB_IO_SECRET=""
export PYTHON_WEB_IO_CONFIG=".pythonwebio/config.toml" 	# defaults to .pythonwebio/config.toml if not set

Generate a random key for PYTHON_WEB_IO_SECRET using this python command line snippet:

python -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex())'

If testing wikipedia_assistant.py, an OpenAI API key will also need to be set.

export OPENAI_API_KEY=""

Running the webapp

We recommend running python_web_io using uvicorn:

poetry run uvicorn python_web_io.main:app
