Frameworks - yass-arafat/django-io GitHub Wiki

A web framework consists of a set of libraries and a main handler within which you can build custom code to implement a web application (i.e. an interactive web site). Most web frameworks include patterns and utilities to accomplish at least the following:

URL Routing

Matches an incoming HTTP request to a particular piece of Python code to be invoked

Request and Response Objects

Encapsulates the information received from or sent to a user’s browser

Template Engine

Allows for separating Python code implementing an application’s logic from the HTML (or other) output that it produces

Development Web Server

Runs an HTTP server on development machines to enable rapid development; often automatically reloads server-side code when files are updated
