web3py

Try me (from pip)

python3 -m pip install web3py
web3py-start apps
open http://localhost:8000/todo/index

(The apps folder will be created with some apps inside)

Try me (from source)

git clone https://github.com/web2py/web3py.git
cd web3py 
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
./web3py-start apps
open http://localhost:8000/todo/index

Notice "web3py-start" uses the pip insalled web3py, "./web3py-start" uses the local one. Do not get confused.

Tell me more

• this is a work in progress and not stable yet but close to be stable
• python3 only
• uses https://github.com/web2py/pydal (same DAL as web2py)
• uses https://github.com/web2py/yatl (same as web2py but defaults to [[...]] instead of {{...}} delimiters)
• uses the same validators as web2py (they are in pyDAL)
• uses the very similar helpers to web2py (A, DIV, SPAN, etc.)
• uses https://github.com/web2py/pluralize for i18n and pluralization
• request, response, abort are from https://bottlepy.org
• HTTP and redirect are our own objects
• like web2py it supports static asset management /{appname}/static/_0.0.0/{path}
• implements sessions in cookies (jwt encrypted), db, memcache, redis and custom
• implements a cache.memoize (Ram cache with O(1) access)
• supports multiple apps under apps folder (same as web2py)
• unlike web2py does not use a custom importer or eval
• admin has been replaced by a _daskboard (90% done)
• appadmin has been replaced by dbadmin (within dashboard) (90% done)
• auth logic is implemented via a "auth" vue.js custom component (90% done)
• SQLFORM has been replaced by web3py/utils/form.py
• SQLFORM.grid was been replaced by a "mtable" vue.js custom component (90% done)
• there are not enough tests

Storing _dashboard password

If you do not want to be prompted for a dashboard passwod every time:

1. create the password:

$ python3 -c "from pydal.validators import CRYPT; open('password.txt','w').write(str(CRYPT()(input('password:'))[0]))"
password: *****

2. (re)use it:

./web3py-start -p password.txt apps
