Before we proceed let's setup a virtualenv environment, activate it and install:
$ pip install wheezy.httphelloworld.py shows you how to use wheezy.http in a pretty simple WSGI application:
../demos/hello/helloworld.py
Let have a look through each line in this application.
First of all let's take a look what is request handler:
../demos/hello/helloworld.py
It is a simple callable of form:
def handler(request):
return responseIn wheezy.http there are no dependencies between :py~wheezy.http.request.HTTPRequest and :py~wheezy.http.response.HTTPResponse.
While wheezy.http doesn't prescribe what is a router, we add here a simple router middleware. This way you can use one of available alternatives to provide route matching for your application.
../demos/hello/helloworld.py
There is a separate python package wheezy.routing that is recommended way to add routing facility to your application.
Finally we create the entry point that is an instance of :py~wheezy.http.application.WSGIApplication.
../demos/hello/helloworld.py
The rest in the helloworld application launches a simple wsgi server. Try it by running:
$ python helloworld.pyVisit http://localhost:8080/.
