Quixote is yet another framework for developing Web applications in
|
|
Python. The design goals were:
|
|
|
|
- To allow easy development of Web applications where the accent is more on
|
|
complicated programming logic than complicated templating.
|
|
- To make the templating language as similar to Python as possible, in both
|
|
syntax and semantics. The aim is to make as many of the skills and
|
|
structural techniques used in writing regular Python code applicable to Web
|
|
applications built using Quixote.
|
|
- No magic. When it's not obvious what to do in a certain case, Quixote
|
|
refuses to guess.
|
|
|
|
Quixote works by using a Python package to store all the code and HTML for a
|
|
Web-based application. There's a simple framework for publishing code and
|
|
objects on the Web, and the publishing loop can be customized by subclassing
|
|
the Publisher class. You can think of it as a toolkit to build your own
|
|
smaller, simpler version of Zope, specialized for your application.
