Morepath: Super Powered Python Web Framework¶

Morepath is a Python web microframework, with super powers.

Morepath is an Python WSGI microframework. It uses routing, but the routing is to models. Morepath is model-driven and flexible, which makes it expressive.

Morepath does not get in your way.
It lets you express what you want, easily. See Quickstart.
It’s extensible, with a simple, coherent and universal extension and override mechanism, supporting reusable code. See App Reuse.
It understands about generating hyperlinks. The web is about hyperlinks and Morepath actually knows about them. See Paths and Linking.
Views are simple functions. Generic views are just views too. See Views.
It has all the tools to develop REST web services in the box. See REST.

Sounds interesting?

Go on the Morepath!

Morepath Knows About Your Models¶

import morepath

app = morepath.App()

class Document(object):
    def __init__(self, id):
        self.id = id

@app.path(path='')
class Root(object):
    pass

@app.path(path='documents/{id}', model=Document)
def get_document(id):
    return Document(id)  # query for doc

@app.html(model=Root)
def hello_root(self, request):
    return '<a href="%s">Go to doc</a>' % request.link(Document('foo'))

@app.html(model=Document)
def hello_doc(self, request):
    return '<p>Hello document: %s!</p>' % self.id

if __name__ == '__main__':
    config = morepath.setup()
    config.scan()
    config.commit()
    morepath.run(app)
