Framework

Framework is a WSGI application which can be configured with routes for both static and dynamic content.

Here's an example of an application which

• serves static content out of the static_folder directory
• calls the hello_world() function to provide the content for the path /hello_world
• calls the user() function for paths which match /user/<name> where the characters appearing after the second slash but before a possible third slash are passed as an argument named name

from framework import Framework

def hello_world():
    ...

def user(name):
    ...

app = Framework('static_folder')
app.add_url_rule('/hello_world', hello_world)
app.add_url_rule('/user/<name>', user)
app.run('www.example.com', 80)

Framework accepts an optional argument which specifies the directory containing static files. It defaults to static.

The run command takes a hostname and port as arguments. The default values are '127.0.0.1' and 5000.

Variable names can contain letters, digits and underscores. URLs can contain letters, digits, underscores, hyphens, periods and tildes.

When a URL with a trailing slash has been configured and the URL is accessed without the trailing slash, a 301 redirect will be issued to the URL with the trailing slash.

Requirements

---

The waitress and WebOb libraries are required to use Framework. pip install -r requirements.txt will install them.

Example

---

An example application has been included which demonstrates the different type of URLs supported by Framework.

python example.py runs the application. The index page can be reached in a browser at localhost:8080/.
