PigWig

pigwig is a WSGI framework for python 3.4+:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from pigwig import PigWig, Response

def root(request):
    return Response('hello, world!')

def shout(request, word):
    return Response.json({'input': word, 'OUTPUT': word.upper()})

routes = [
    ('GET', '/', root),
    ('GET', '/shout/<word>', shout),
]

app = PigWig(routes)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.main()

pigwig has no hard dependencies, but

  1. if you want to use templating, you must either install jinja2 or provide your own template engine
  2. if you want to use PigWig.main() for development, the reloader requires a libc that supports inotify (linux 2.6.13 and glibc 2.4 or later) or the macfsevents package on OS X
  3. you will want a “real” WSGI server to deploy on such as eventlet or gunicorn
