Hi, I would like to share with you my small framework I build for the Google App Engine and think you might like it. You find it here coming along with a short screen cast explaining basic usage:
http://code.google.com/p/pyxer/ (Project) http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyxer (Download) To get started you need to have SetupTools (easy_install) installed on your system. So installing Pyxer is like this: $ easy_install pyxer Now to set up a new project go into an empty directory and type: $ pyxer init You get everything there you need, including an 'app.yaml' file that you might modify a bit, but you don't have to to get started. All Python packages go into the sub directory 'site-packages'. To install new packages just drop them there or use pyxer as an easy_install replacement like: $ pyxer install pygments Now it's time to start the server like you always do, e.g.: $ dev_appserver.py . For coding have a look into the 'public' folder. If you have static content, just drop it there and it will be served. For controllers make the folder an Python package by adding the '__init__.py file. A simple example could then look like this: from pyxer.base import * @expose def index(q='nothing'): return 'The GET variable q contains: %s' % q If you now call 'http://localhost:8080/?q=Hello' you get the output 'The GET variable q contains: Hello'. If you return lists or dictionaries, the output will be send in JSON format. If you do not return or return 'None' Pyxer is looking for a template with the same name as the controller plus a '.html' suffix, e.g. @expose def test(): c.message = 'Hello World' This will look for the file 'test.html' in the same directory. This is handled as a template which supports a templating language that is very close to Genshi, but less restrictive. So this could be our template 'test.html': <html> <head> <title py:content='c.message'></title> </head> <body> This is a message: $c.message </body> </html> 'c' is a pseudo global variable that is used as the 'context' for passing values to the template. There are more of these e.g. for session handling or request data. See the documentation for more details. Hope you enjoy this Open Source technology.
