A different sort of web framework

1 min read

I present to you getshitdone, or GSD for the prudish. GSD is a web framework for those of us that just don’t have time for those other frameworks.

GSD Goals:

  • An implementation in about 50 lines of code.
  • Minimal work, maximum flexibility.
  • No dependencies outside the Python standard library.

GSD Non-Goals:

  • Performance.
  • Standards compliance.
  • Working with Apache, Lighttpd, whatever.

Here’s a simple GSD Hello World app.

import gsd
class HelloWorld(gsd.App):
  def GET_(self):
    self.wfile.write('Hello World!')
app = HelloWorld()
app.Serve('localhost', 8080)
GSD also has its own templating language. It's called Python.
# Template helloworld.html
<?
self.wfile.write('Hello World!')
?>
# GSD App
class HelloWorld(gsd.App):
  def GET_(self):
    self.Render('helloworld.html', locals())

More documentation and examples to come on the project page.
