Lightweight web framework =========================== If you're a Python developer you may have used web frameworks like Flask before. Such frameworks are useful but usually require many dependencies to use. What's interesting about Python is it's standard library includes most of what you need for a web framework. What I've done is wrap these components in a flask-like interface -- using aionetiface for the networking. .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/example_16.py :language: python3 Functions in the web framework are decorated with a REST method. Their parameters take a pipe back to the client and introduce a v parameter. The structure of v looks like this: .. code-block:: python { # class to process HTTP request # see req.url for $_GET params. 'req': 'parsehttprequest object', # # named REST path 'name': {}, # # unnamed positional items 'pos': {}, # 0, 1, ... n -> value # # client remote address info 'client': ('192.168.8.158', 60085), # # $_POST data -- not multiple fields. 'body': b'' } When you define REST methods you can have a list of named arguments. These highlight what is named in the URL. For example: '/cat/meow' might be highlighted with @RESTD.GET(["cat"]) and 'name' would be {'cat': 'meow'}. Unnamed values are indexed by their position. The field 'body' is the binary content of a POST request. While req is a class with the processed HTTP request. These fields are useful for debugging.
