TurboGears is a hybrid web framework able to act both as a Full Stack framework or as a Microframework. TurboGears helps you get going fast and gets out of your way when you want it!

TurboGears can be used both as a full stack framework or as a microframework in single file mode.

Get Started

https://asciinema.org/a/181221.png

To try TurboGears just get pip if you don't already have it:

$ curl -O 'https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py'
$ python get-pip.py

And install Turbogears:

$ pip install TurboGears2

Then serving a TurboGears web application is as simple as making a webapp.py file with your application:

from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
from tg import MinimalApplicationConfigurator
from tg import expose, TGController

# RootController of our web app, in charge of serving content for /
class RootController(TGController):
    @expose(content_type="text/plain")
    def index(self):
        return 'Hello World'

# Configure a new minimal application with our root controller.
config = MinimalApplicationConfigurator()
config.update_blueprint({
    'root_controller': RootController()
})

# Serve the newly configured web application.
print("Serving on port 8080...")
httpd = make_server('', 8080, config.make_wsgi_app())
httpd.serve_forever()

Start it with python webapp.py and open your browser at http://localhost:8080/
