The handy Python web framework

fiole.py

fiole.py is a WSGI micro-framework with the following development constraints:

• Single file, no external dependency
• Provide enough features to build a web application with minimal effort
• Embed a compact template engine
• Keep the module reasonably small

Main features:

• Routing
• Methods GET/HEAD/POST/PUT/DELETE
• Error handlers
• File uploads
• Static files
• Fast template engine
• Secure cookies

Disclaimer: this framework is intentionally limited. If you need a robust and scalable solution, look elsewhere.

Example

from fiole import get, run_fiole


@get('/')
def index(request):
    return 'Hello World!'

run_fiole()

Thanks

Thank you to Daniel Lindsley (toastdriven) for itty, the itty-bitty web framework which helped me to kick-start the project.

Thank you to Andriy Kornatskyy (akorn) for his blazingly fast and elegant template library wheezy.template: it is the inspiration for the template engine of fiole.py.

The following projects were also a great source of ideas:

• Werkzeug (HTTPHeaders and EnvironHeaders datastructures)
• WebOb (parsing the Accept headers)
• Bottle (embedding a simple template engine)
• Jinja2 and Mako (common template engine syntax and features)
