weppy is a full-stack python web framework designed with simplicity in mind.
The aim of weppy is to be clearly understandable, easy to be learned and to be used, so you can focus completely on your product's features:
from weppy import App, request, response
from weppy.orm import Database, Model, Field
from weppy.tools import service, requires
class Task(Model):
name = Field.string()
is_completed = Field.bool(default=False)
app = App(__name__)
app.config.db.uri = "postgres://user:password@localhost/foo"
db = Database(app)
db.define_models(Task)
app.pipeline = [db.pipe]
def is_authenticated():
return request.headers["Api-Key"] == "foobar"
def not_authorized():
response.status = 401
return {'error': 'not authorized'}
@app.route(methods='get')
@service.json
@requires(is_authenticated, otherwise=not_authorized)
def todo():
page = request.query_params.page or 1
tasks = Task.where(
lambda t: t.is_completed == False
).select(paginate=(page, 20))
return {'tasks': tasks}You can install weppy using pip:
$ pip install weppy
The documentation is available at http://weppy.org/docs. The sources are available under the docs folder.
The "bloggy" example described in the Tutorial is available under the examples folder. While we're still populating this folder with more examples, you can also take a look at H-Funding, which uses many of weppy's features.
Aside from the examples, we encourage you to look at the starter kit and the convenient scaffold generator written by MJ Davis. These projects can really help you writing your next weppy application.
