JJinuxLand: Python Werkzeug

JJinuxLand: Python Werkzeug: "I just finished the Werkzeug tutorial, and it looks pretty good.

Werkzeug started as simple collection of various utilities for WSGI applications and has become one of the most advanced WSGI utility modules. It includes a powerful debugger, full featured request and response objects, HTTP utilities to handle entity tags, cache control headers, HTTP dates, cookie handling, file uploads, a powerful URL routing system and a bunch of community contributed addon modules.

Werkzeug is unicode aware and doesn't enforce a specific template engine, database adapter or anything else. It doesn't even enforce a specific way of handling requests and leaves all that up to the developer.

Werkzeug is most useful for end user applications which should work on as many server environments as possible (such as blogs, wikis, bulletin boards, etc.).

Having coded applications in Aquarium, Django, Pylons, Ruby on Rails, Zope, Plone, etc., I've been fascinated by the idea of an anti-framework. A framework establishes the flow of the application and calls your code at certain points. That's the opposite of a library. A library lets you call its code whenever and however you want. Werkzeug is a collection of libraries."
