ObjectWeb: OOP Python Web Framework

ObjectWeb is a fast, minimalist, pure-Python web framework that relies on no
third party libraries. It is designed around using Python as it was originally
intended to be used: as an Object Oriented Programming language. ObjectWeb
supports the CGI and WSGI standards and has a built-in development server.

The ObjectWeb Framework has only been tested and developed with Python 2.7.

ObjectWeb is BETA SOFTWARE and should be treated as such. Please use with caution and care.
Make sure to read the LICENSE.

  • Pure Python 2.6/2.7 with reliance on third party libraries.
  • Supports CGI and WSGI standards. (&& Google App Engineā€¦ Maybe.)
  • A nice debug feature to help with 500 Internal Errors.
  • Allows the use of external libraries without interfering.
  • Map your URLS to request paths using regular expressions.
  • Easily extract information from the request.
  • Form API - form processing and validation module.
  • Built-in development server.

ObjectWeb in a Nutshell

General Usage of the ObjectWeb library is as follows.

import ObjectWeb  # import the library.

class MainPage(object): # Any object can be a handler
    "The main page handler."

    def GET(self):
        "The GET method handler."
        return "Output content here..."

    # Make the POST method mimic the GET method.
    POST = GET
    
# Create the Application Object.
app = ObjectWeb.Application([
    ("/", MainPage),              # Point the / path to be handled by MainPage
], debug=False)                   # Set debug to False for production.
