Pybald is a light weight, python, MVC style web framework. It is inspired by work done by Ian Bicking, and builds upon the concepts presented in Another do-it-yourself framework. It is also takes design inspiration from Ruby on Rails and Django.

Pybald began life as an ultra-bare-bones framework but has evolved over time adding convenience methods, components and glue:

• Routes for dispatching and URL parsing
• Mako as the template engine.
• SqlAlchemy for data persistence and object mapping
• FormAlchemy for automated form generation and validation
• A more complex WSGI decorator
• Some deploy infrastructure such as Apache and Nginx configuration templates
• Session Management, Simple Logging, and template helper functions
