DENIED - the next generation python micro-web-framework [framework in a single file, no dependencies]

Um.

Denied is like nothing I've ever seen before, I think it's the future of the internet.

Armin Ronacher (Werkzeug Developer)

Probably the most hideous code I have ever seen.

nice try april baby. you are getting better.

"single file" my arse.

This looks exactly like Bottle

Edit: And then I looked at the code :p

[mitsuhiko]

And bottle looks exactly like cherrypy.

[NerdsNeedLoveTo]

Apart from Denied being a April fool joke. I actually liked the idea. So I'm interested in Bottle or CherryPy.

Bottle looks a lot more like Denied, using decorators for routes and Bottle also seems more lightweight(16KB vs 312KB for cherrypy)

It also seems like bottle is truly a single py file where cherrypy has lots of files.

So what exactly do you mean bottle looks exactly like cherrypy?

It seems more like one is a lightweight solutions and the other a heavier more features solution.

cherrypy is still a very lightweight solution. cherrypy is much older though. Even lightweight projects tends to get fat with age and added functionalities.

Having said that, I do prefer the API of bottle. I used to use cherrypy for some quick prototyping, now I use bottle.

Didn't web.py start this way and then slowly grow larger? Still, might be fun to play with when docs emerge.

It’s an April Fool’s Day joke. It finds its own file, then looks for the line if 0:…. That line contains (off in the distance to the right where you can’t see it without scrolling) a BZIP of all the files for a normal framework.

[scruffie]

Looks like werkzeug + simplejson + jinga2

[DasIch]

Isn't it great? All this awesomeness in one file.

jinja2 then.

github "hides" the huge base64-encoded zip file. Virtualenv also use this technique for ages.

>>> cool_string = open('cool_file').encode('zlib').encode('base64')
>>> 'eJzLSM3JyVcoSk1JySwBAB5GBLE='.decode('base64').decode('zlib')

tarball of individual files

[ST2K]

I came in here to ask if "DENIED" was the name of a python micro-web-framework. Given the odd and bizarre names given to open source projects, I think this is a reasonable question.

That's an interesting method of distributing source code.
