A slim, fast and comfortable WSGI-Framework for Python >= 3.6.
Tested with 3.10 + 3.12.
Uses https://github.com/defnull/multipart for handling the multipart/form-data requests instead of cgi.FieldStorage.

@ToDo
Create a application.py file in /path/to/python/files:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from 15Watt_Wsgi.Kernel import Kernel
kernel = None
def application(env: dict, start_response):
global kernel
if kernel is None:
kernel = Kernel()
return kernel.run(env=env, startResponse=start_response)
All requests are handled by the Kernel.run method. WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/python/files/application.py
The Kernel is a singleton and is created only once per lifetime of the application. By this, the configuration und the routes are loaded only once.
Only files and/or directories definded by Apache Alias directives are delivered by the web server drircetly!
The routes definitions tells the Kernel witch request path ist mapped to witch controller and method.
Create a routes.py file in /path/to/python/files:
from 15Watt_Wsgi.Route import Route, HttpMethods
routes = [
Route(
path='/',
nameController='Controllers.AggregationController.AggregationController',
nameMethod='staticPageAction',
httpMethod=HttpMethods.GET
),
Route(
path='/qcell',
nameController='QCell.StaticPagesController.StaticPagesController',
nameMethod='indexAction',
httpMethod=HttpMethods.GET
),
]
A request to / will be handled by from Controllers.AggregationController import AggregationController staticPageAction method.
A request to /qcell will be handled by from QCell.StaticPagesController import StaticPagesController indexAction method.
from 15Watt_Wsgi.Route import Route, HttpMethods
routes = [
Route(
path='/do/{id}/{what}',
nameController='Controllers.DoWiredStuffController.DoWiredStuffController',
nameMethod='doStuffAction',
httpMethod=HttpMethods.GET,
params = {
'id': 'int',
'what': 'str'
}
),
...
]
A request to /do/42/machWas will be handled by from Controllers.DoWiredStuffController import DoWiredStuffController doStuffAction method with the parameters id=42 and what='machWas'.
The types of the parameters in the path can be python types ìnt or str.
represents the request from the client.
Have a look at the, hopefully, well documented code.
represents the response send to the client.
Have a look at the, hopefully, well documented code.
The controllers orchestrate the work to be done. Receive the request, do the work and return the response.
from 15Watt_Wsgi.BaseController import BaseController
from 15Watt_Wsgi.Request import Request
from 15Watt_Wsgi.Response import Response
class ExampleController(BaseController):
def __init__(self, config: dict):
super().__init__(config=config)
def getAction(self, request: Request, response: Response):
response.stringContent = 'Hello World'
response.contentType = 'text/plain
response.returnCode = 200
return
Will send the string 'Hello World' with the content type 'text/plain' and the return code 200 to the client.
Do what ever you want in your getAction method 😊.
The route with parameters in the path /path/to/python/files/routes.py:
from 15Watt_Wsgi.Route import Route, HttpMethods
routes = [
Route(
path='/with/params/{id}/{what}',
nameController='Controllers.ExampleController.ExampleController',
nameMethod='withParamsAction',
httpMethod=HttpMethods.GET,
params = {
'id': 'int',
'what': 'str'
}
)
]
The controller /path/to/python/files/Controllers/ExampleController.py:
from 15Watt_Wsgi.BaseController import BaseController
from 15Watt_Wsgi.Request import Request
from 15Watt_Wsgi.Response import Response
class ExampleController(BaseController):
def __init__(self, config: dict):
super().__init__(config=config)
def withParamsAction(self, request: Request, response: Response):
response.stringContent = f'Hello World, id = {request.get('id)} what = "{request.get('what')"}'
response.contentType = 'text/plain
response.returnCode = 200
return
When the client requests /with/params/42/machWas
the response will be Hello World, id = 42 what = "machWas"
with the content type 'text/plain' and the return code 200.
request.get('id) will return the value of the parameter id as type int from the request.
request.get('what) will return the value of the parameter what as type str from the request.
is expected in /path/to/python/files/config.py
as a simple assignments of variables to values.
key1 = 'Value1'
confVar2 = 42
The Kernel will load the configuration file and make the variables, as a dict, available to the controllers,
in the property 'self._config
whit this content:
{
'key1': 'Value1',
'confVar2': 42
}
I use Cheetah3 for the templates.
Use what ever you like as your template engine.
At this moment (2024-06-01) I'm not shure the BaseTplController is necessary.
Have a look at the ToDos.
Use what ever you like as your ORM or database access.
At this moment SqlObject is needed.
