Verktyg is a web framework built on werkzeug.

It separates mapping of routes to endpoints and endpoints to handlers and provides a mechanism for dispatching on request content-type and method.

It also includes an optional application base class. This wraps the routing system and provides a binding mechanism to allow extension. The request and server context are kept explicit and separate.

Focus is on building api's where support for multiple content types is likely to be important, and where it doesn't make sense to use a form builder and therefore share code between GET and other methods. For building html websites flask is probably a better choice.

Based on werkzeug routing but with method dispatch removed.

Maps from urls to endpoint identifiers

Chooses handler based on endpoint, request accept headers, and request, method.

Wraps dispatcher and router

Binds together request parsing, routing, dispatch, and error handling.

A slightly overcomplicated Hello World application. Tries to illustrate separate route configuration and implementation.

# hello.py
from werkzeug import Response
from verktyg import Dispatcher, Application, expose

views = Dispatcher()


@expose(views, 'index')
def get_index(app, req):
    return Response('Hello world')


def bind(app):
    app.add_views(views)

# root.py
import os
import logging

from werkzeug.serving import run_simple
from verktyg.routing import Route
from verktyg import Application


def create_app(config=os.environ, debug=None, proxy=None):
    if debug is None:
        debug = config.get('DEBUG', False)

    if debug:
        logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
    else:
        logging.basicConfig()

    app = Application(debug=debug)
    app.config = config

    app.add_routes(
        Route('/', endpoint='index'),
    )

    import hello
    hello.bind(app)

    return app


def run_dev_server():
    app = create_app(debug=True)
    from werkzeug.serving import run_simple
    run_simple('127.0.0.1', 5000, app, use_debugger=True, use_reloader=True)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    run_dev_server()
