TurboGears is a hybrid web framework able to act both as a Full Stack framework or as a Microframework. TurboGears helps you get going fast and gets out of your way when you want it!
TurboGears can be used both as a full stack framework or as a microframework in single file mode.
The following content covers examples in minimal mode, to see an example for full stack capabilities take a look at tg.devtools
To try TurboGears just get pip if you don't already have it:
$ curl -O 'https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py' $ python get-pip.py
And install Turbogears:
$ pip install TurboGears2
Then serving a TurboGears web application is as simple as making a webapp.py
file with your application:
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
from tg import MinimalApplicationConfigurator
from tg import expose, TGController
# RootController of our web app, in charge of serving content for /
class RootController(TGController):
@expose(content_type="text/plain")
def index(self):
return 'Hello World'
# Configure a new minimal application with our root controller.
config = MinimalApplicationConfigurator()
config.update_blueprint({
'root_controller': RootController()
})
# Serve the newly configured web application.
print("Serving on port 8080...")
httpd = make_server('', 8080, config.make_wsgi_app())
httpd.serve_forever()
Start it with python webapp.py and open your browser at http://localhost:8080/
