This is a modified version of itty.py which attempts to add support for the HTTP 'Accept:' request header.
example code:
@get('/')
@accept('text/plain')
def index(request):
return "Hello, World!\n"
@get('/')
@accept('text/xml')
def index(request):
return '<?xml version="1.0"?><greeting>Hello, World!</greeting>\n'
@get('/')
@accept('application/json')
def index(request):
return '{ "greeting": "Hello, World!" }\n'
@get('/')
def index(request):
return "<html><body>Hello, World!</body></html>\n"output:
$ wget -q -O - --header='Accept: text/plain' http://localhost:8080
Hello, World!
$ wget -q -O - --header='Accept: text/xml' http://localhost:8080
<?xml version="1.0"?><greeting>Hello, World!</greeting>
$ wget -q -O - --header='Accept: application/json' http://localhost:8080
{ "greeting": "Hello, World!" }
$ wget -q -O - --header='Accept: text/html' http://localhost:8080
<html><body>Hello, World!</body></html>This is just a first stab to flesh out the idea.
Limitations (i.e. things which could be improved upon):
- You have to define your methods in order from most specific to least specific.
- Wildcards and 'q' aren't supported yet.
Feel free to take this idea and run with it. Have fun! Jason Pepas jason@pepas.com
The itty-bitty Python web framework.
itty.py is a little experiment, an attempt at a Sinatra influenced micro-framework that does just enough to be useful and nothing more.
Currently supports:
- Routing
- Basic responses
- Content-types
- HTTP Status codes
- URL Parameters
- Basic GET/POST/PUT/DELETE support
- User-definable error handlers
- Redirect support
- File uploads
- Header support
- Static media serving
Beware! If you're looking for a proven, enterprise-ready framework, you're in the wrong place. But it sure is a lot of fun.

A couple of bits have been borrowed from other sources:

Thanks go out to Matt Croydon & Christian Metts for putting me up to this late at night. The joking around has become reality. :)
