Fadelisk is a web server where all HTML documents are templates. It uses a simple, natural directory layout reminiscent of static web servers. All HTML documents are rendered by Mako, a rich templating system that brings the power of Python to each and every page.

Fadelisk is trivial to set up, and easy to use. Configuration is minimal and smart. It can stand alone, or co-exist happily with other popular web servers such as nginx. It handles HTTP 1.1 virtual hosts in a simple way, making adding new vhosts as easy as creating a directory.

Fadelisk is based on Twisted Web, a flexible and very performant web server written in Python.

Fadelisk will make everything better. That's its goal — to get out of the way so you can spend your time doing the thing you came to do in the first place: designing your site.
