Mother - Web Applications Framework

Project description

Mother is a framework written in python and based on twisted. It is designed to make developpement of web applications easy and fast.

It provides following functionalities among others:
  • simple url mapping to code,

  • handle multi content-types (html, JSON, …),

  • integration with Tentacles ORM,

  • allow use of templating tools (currently, only Mako is supported)

Example:

UUID = '7c772000-8f12-4594-9730-9e4de53d55d1'
