Baseplate is a library to build services on. Its goal is to provide all the common things a service needs with as few surprises as possible, including:

• compatibility with Python 2.7 and Python 3.4+
• transparent diagnostic information collection (metrics, tracing, logging)
• configuration parsing
• gevent-based Thrift and WSGI servers meant to run under Einhorn
• and various helper libraries like a Thrift client pool
