wsgi-micro-web-framework
Update
I built this before I discovered the full potential of web.py, a Python framework that does everything I wanted to achieve with this, but in a much more eloquent and functional way.
A WSGI-compatible micro web framework. Inspired by, and built using some open-source software written by Anand Chitipothu, 2012. Major changes include a rewrite of the delegation function, support for enforcing HTTPS, and the inclusion of an error logging module.

Written confirmation was attained by electronic mail on Mon, 15 Aug 2016 17:22:10 from Anand Chitipothu to use the software under an MIT license.
Dependencies
Python Requests: HTTP for Humans
Usage
Where appropriate (usually the web root), create passenger_wsgi.py. An example file is below.
from wsgi_micro_web_framework import wsgiapp
# Can be imported from an external file
class index:
# This array holds a routing pattern for the URL to match, in order to delegate to this class.
# Please note: an "index" class can be viewed from www.domain.com. There is an clause to pass any lack of path, to "index".
route = ["index"]
# The wsgiapp is passed in as a parameter when the class is initialised. POST/GET data etc. can be extracted from it as normal.
# The arguments parameter is similar to the "route" array above. However, it contains the full URL path.
def __init__(self, app, arguments):
self.app = app
self.arguments = arguments
def get(self):
self.app.header("Content-Type", "text/html")
self.app.content = "<html><head><title>Homepage</title></head><body><h1>Welcome</h1></body></html>"
self.app.status = "200 OK"
# Likewise, can be imported.
class blog:
# Similarly as above, but with an extra layer, this class is viewed at www.domain.com/blog/view/any_additional_arguments
route = ["blog", "view"]
def __init__(self, app, arguments):
self.app = app
self.arguments = arguments
def get(self):
self.app.header("Content-Type", "text/plain")
self.app.content = "Article Number: " + str(self.arguments) # ["blog", "view", "any_additional_arguments"]
self.app.status = "200 OK"
def log_function(error_message):
# Do some logging
class application(wsgiapp):
enforce_https = True
log = log_function
# Adds the page classes to the delegator.
routes = [
index,
blog,
]
def not_found(self):
self.header("Content-Type", "text/html")
self.content = "<html><head><title>404 Not Found</title></head><body><h1>Uh oh!</h1><h2>You're lost!</h2></body></html>"
self.status = "404 Not Found"
def internal_server_error(self):
self.header("Content-Type", "text/plain")
self.content = "Internal Server Error. Greg has been notified. If you have the time, please send him an email saying what happened at developer@gregbrimble.com. Thanks!"
self.status = "500 Internal Server Error"
def not_implemented(self):
self.header("Content-Type", "text/plain")
self.content = "Woah. You used a HTTP request I haven't implemented yet. Give it time. If you need it, send me an email at hello@gregbrimble.com, and I'll see what I can do."
self.status = "501 Not Implemented"
