Casket

Casket is a Python WSGI gateway

Building

Casket is written in Rust. You must obtain a copy of the Rust toolchain, instructions for doing so are here.

Once obtained:

  # clone the source code
  $ git clone git@github.com:flickpp/casket.git
  # cd
  $ cd casket
  # Build Casket
  # cargo build --release
  # the casket binary is now target/release/casket
  $ cp target/release/tasket $INSTALL_DIR

Running

To run a WSGI application, you must give casket the filename and the WSGI callable.

# file service.py

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return 'Hello World!'

To run the above flask app:

   $ casket service:app

We note service.py is the filename and app is the name of the WSGI callable.

Building Documentation

Documentation is done with sphinx.

To install sphinx with pip:

   $ pip install sphinx

And to build the docs:

   $ sphinx-build -b html doc build

Python has a HTTP server shipped in the standard library:

   $ cd build
   $ python -m http.server 9000

Docs can now be vied at http://localhost:9000
