Howdy!
I'm mildly biased, being the author of the framework, but I can highly
recommend WebCore for rapid prototyping of web applications; it has
templating via numerous template engines, excellent JSON (AJAJ)
support, and support for database back-ends via SQLAlchemy. It also
has session support baked-in via a project called Beaker.
Documentation is fairly complete, and I can be found camping in the
#webcore IRC channel on irc.freenode.net at strange hours.
If you can write a class, you can have a fully operational web
application in a single file of ~8 lines or so. (Or you can create a
complete easy-installable Python package with multiple modules.)
For information, see: http://www.web-core.org/
As an interactive-fiction example:
class RootController(web.core.Controller):
def index(self):
"""This returns a template that uses JavaScript to call execute().
The JavaScript adds the result of execute() to the display."""
session = db.Session().save()
return './templates/main.html', dict(session=session.id)
def execute(self, session, statement):
"""Load our session and pass the input off to our interactive
fiction library of choice. Return the result if all went well."""
session = db.Session.get(session)
try:
result = myiflib.execute(session, statement)
except myiflib.ParseError:
return 'json:', dict(status="failure", message="Error...")
return 'json:', dict(status="success", message=result)
— Alice.
