Very simple (just one file) CGI «framework» to simplify scripts. Designed for Gemini hypertext markup language. Supports servers compatible with Stargazer CGI
Since GemiCGI is just one file with no dependencies except standart library, you can just grab file and put it:
- Next to your script
- In
/usr/local/lib/python3.*/site-packages/ - In
~/.local/lib/python3.*/site-packages/
Also, you can build it with poetry and install wheel
poetry build
pip install dist/gemicgi-*.whl
I don't think GemiCGI has enough value to upload it to PyPI
import datetime
import gemicgi
from pathlib import Path
# This will initialize request from environment variables, see stargazer doc for details
cgi = gemicgi.Cgi()
# This will give you request object. Attributes are just lowercase version of environment variables, parsed if applicable
assert isinstance(cgi.request.tls_client_not_before, datetime.datetime)
# Ability to serve a file (with MIME type guessed from extension)
cgi.serve_static(Path(__file__))
cgi.flush()
# Write strings to a buffer
cgi.buffer.write("# Hello gemini!")
cgi.flush()
# Or fail with error
cgi.error(gemicgi.Status.NOT_FOUND, "Idk where to find it")
cgi.flush()Alternatively, you can use it like context manager
import gemicgi
with gemicgi.Cgi() as cgi:
cgi.buffer.write("# Hiii")
# No manual flush() required. Also, it will automatically return code 42(CGI_ERROR) on unhandled exceptionAlso, there is a nice wrappers for filling buffer!
import gemicgi
with gemicgi.Cgi() as cgi:
cgi.h1("Gemtext example")
cgi.line("Plain text line")
cgi.quote("Wise quote")
cgi.link("gemini://wise-man.example.org", "Author")
with cgi.preformat():
# Write to buffer any way you like, context manager close preformat automatically
cgi.line("Like this")
cgi.buffer.write("Or like this\n")
cgi.h1("This won't be rendered, but why not?")
cgi.list("List element...")
cgi.list([
"Bunch",
"Of",
"List",
"Elements"
])- A way to set response code not via error (not all codes are errors)
- GitHub CI to build wheels
- Add cool features but keep it simple
