Web-PyOctopus is a lightweight Python web framework designed for learning and experimentation, inspired by modern frameworks like Django and FastAPI.
Project description
Web-PyOctopus: A Lightweight Python Web Framework
Web-PyOctopus is a lightweight and easy-to-use Python web framework built for learning purposes. It is a WSGI framework, meaning it can be used with any WSGI application server such as Gunicorn.

🚀 Installation
Install Web-PyOctopus using pip:
pip install web-pyoctopus
📌 Basic Usage
Create a simple Web-PyOctopus app:
from pyoctopus.api import OctopusAPI
app = OctopusAPI()
@app.route("/home")
def home(request, response):
response.text = "Hello from the HOME page"
@app.route("/hello/{name}")
def greeting(request, response, name):
response.text = f"Hello, {name}!"
Run it with a WSGI server like Gunicorn:
gunicorn app:app
📚 Routing & Class-Based Views
Define class-based views for better organization:
@app.route("/book")
class BooksResource:
def get(self, req, resp):
resp.text = "Books Page"
def post(self, req, resp):
resp.text = "Endpoint to create a book"
🎨 Template Rendering
Use templates for dynamic content:
@app.route("/template")
def template_handler(req, resp):
resp.body = app.template(
"index.html", context={"name": "Web-PyOctopus", "title": "Best Framework"}
).encode()
Change the default template directory:
app = OctopusAPI(templates_dir="custom_templates")
Example index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{{ title }}</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to {{ name }}</h1>
</body>
</html>
📂 Static Files
By default, static files are served from the static directory. You can change it:
app = OctopusAPI(static_dir="assets")
Use them in HTML:
<link href="/static/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />
🛠 Middleware Support
Create custom middleware by inheriting from Middleware:
from pyoctopus.middleware import Middleware
class SimpleLoggerMiddleware(Middleware):
def process_request(self, req):
print("Request received:", req.url)
def process_response(self, req, res):
print("Response sent:", req.url)
app.add_middleware(SimpleLoggerMiddleware)
🧪 Unit Testing
Use pytest for testing. Fixtures app and client help in writing tests:
def test_home_route(client):
response = client.get("/home")
assert response.text == "Hello from the HOME page"
Parameterized route testing:
def test_dynamic_route(client):
response = client.get("/hello/Alice")
assert response.text == "Hello, Alice!"
