Introducing License Enforcement in Socket
Ensure open-source compliance with Socket’s License Enforcement Beta. Set up your License Policy and secure your software!
bivouac has grown out of my own efforts to build websites in Python with as thin a footprint as I can. bivouac provides a basic MVC framework inspired by Microsoft's MVC 1.0 framework. Expect further ruminations on the topic elsewhere. In the past I suggested I would not support this project, but as I find I rely on bivouac for more of my own websites, I expect to do as much as I can to encourage adoption and support. I think we're on to something good here!
bivouac is WSGI compliant and aims to be as webserver-agnostic as it can. Using mod_wsgi or isapi_wsgi, bivouac works well with both Apache and IIS, with NGINX being an untested likelihood. Today bivouac supports authentication and user sessions using MongoDB. Long-term look for this to become more database independent.
Currently, bivouac has a small number of dependencies:
bivouac provides classes for MVC routing, controllers, models and views. Here's a quick intro to getting a site up and running using bivouac.
For starters, create a module called app.py, or whatever you've specified as your WSGI entry point. Here we see a simple WSGI entry point with some boiler-plate routing. This will serve most folks needs, so feel free to start with this setup.
::
import bivouac
application = bivouac.Router()
application.add_route('/', defaults={'controller': 'default', 'action': 'index'})
application.add_route('/{controller}/', defaults={'action': 'index'})
application.add_route('/{controller}/{action}')
application.add_route('/{controller}/{action}/{id}')
Next you'll need a controller. bivouac looks for controllers within your site directory, typically in the controllers package. Your controller will inherit from bivouac.Controller. Methods decorated with @action will be treated as controller actions and return bivouac views, or any WSGI compliant, iterable structure.
::
import bivouac
from bivouac.controller import action, noauth
controller = "DefaultController"
class DefaultController(bivouac.Controller):
'''Default Controller.
'''
def __init__(self):
bivouac.Controller.__init__(self)
@noauth
@action
def index(self, req, **vars):
import views.index as View
view = View.IndexView()
return view
