Bottle is a WSGI micro web-framework for the Python programming language. It is designed to be fast, simple and lightweight, and is distributed as a single file module with no dependencies other than the Python Standard Library. The same module runs with Python 2.7 and 3.x.

It offers request dispatching (routes) with URL parameter support, templates, a built-in web server and adapters for many third-party WSGI/HTTP-server and template engines.

It is designed to be lightweight, and to allow development of web applications easily and quickly.

Features

• Single file which runs with both Python 2.5 and 3.x
• Can run as a standalone web server or be used behind ("mounted on") any web server which supports WSGI
• Built-in template engine called SimpleTemplate Engine
• Support for JSON client data (for REST and JavaScript clients)
• Plugins for popular databases and key/value stores and other features

Example

A simple "Hello World!"

from bottle import route, run, template

@route('/hello/<name>')
def index(name):
    return template('<b>Hello {{name}}</b>!', name=name)

run(host='localhost', port=8080)
