uwl: micro web library for python

library for binding methods/functions to http paths or path regexes

quickstart:

• clone repo to your project
• copy uwsgi.ini file from the repo
• create python file for your webapp. eg: mywebapp.py
• use import in your application: from uwl import route, wsgi.
• change lines in uwsgi.ini to your desired values: eg: module = mywebapp:wsgi.app and of course where your app resides, change chdir to it.
• put ini file to where uwsgi expects or directly run it with uwsgi.
• if you dont have nginx config yet, use example in nginx.conf
• goto localhost in your browser

there is example working version in container pvtmert/uwl you also can use docker build -t uwl . && docker run --rm -itp 80:80 uwl

caveats:

• route.py is not well written, just adds stuff to internal routing table (ordered-dict)
• somehow your scripts needs to be parsed, function names actually does not matter and you can use them over-and-over again.
• i tried to be as much as flexible
• some return values and handling needs to be fixed. proper errors etc.

example:

project; /home/mert/projects/myapp:

• main.py:

  from uwl import wsgi, route
  
  @route.set(None, r"^/$")
  def main(env, match, *args, **kwargs):
      return (200, {}, "hello, use /test.txt for example")
  
  @route.set(None, r"^/(.+)$")
  def static(env, match, *args, **kwargs):
      try:
          with open("static/" + match.group()[0]) as file:
              return (200, {}, file.read())
      except Exception as exc:
          return (200, {}, "Error: {}".format(exc))
  

• uwl/: this library cloned here

• static/: static files, i created test.txt with content hello here.

uwsgi config; /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/myapp.ini: comment out py-autoreload in production!

[uwsgi]

module = main:wsgi.app
chdir = /home/mert/projects/myapp
processes = 4
master = true
vacuum = true

py-autoreload = 2

nginx config; /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/myapp.conf:

server {
	listen 80 default_server;
	location / {
		include uwsgi_params;
		uwsgi_pass unix:/run/uwsgi/app/myapp/socket;
	}
}
