Easy Web App (for Python)

Create web applications easily.

This is a PyPI package for the rest-web-gui framework.

Focus is on web applications (not simple web pages). A lot of plug-ins are available to get a portal it quickly configured:

• Forms
• Tables / lists
• Content: via MediaWiki API, plain HTML views, or help dialogs
• I/O: control switches/drawer, gauges, graphs, LEDs, displays, ...
• i18n: switch language
• Maps: POIs, routes, traffic, ...
• Page to page navigation with navigation tabs, menus, links and session data
• Source code display
• Security: HTTP Basic authentication or OAuth
• ...

This is how it may look like:

Remark: It is also available as Node.js API package.

Getting started

Prepare:

1. Create a web application project folder, e.g. mkdir ~/myapp
2. Create a virtual Python environment for this folder: virtualenv ~/myapp
3. Change into the project folder and activate the virtual environment: cd ~/myapp; source bin\activate
4. Install this package: pip install easy-web-app

Create first web app with Python:

Create a file, e.g. firstapp.py

from easywebapp.webapp import Portal
import easywebapp.page_layout as page

mainpage = page.PageLayout( 'First Page' )

# initialize portal
portal = Portal( 'My Portal', 8000, mainpage )

# define a custom web service
portal.addURL( '/myservice', 'myservice' )

class myservice:
    def GET( self ):
        return 'Hello World'

# start the web server
portal.run()
