A lightweight web framework emphasizing flexibility and rapid development The Pylons web framework is aimed at making webapps and large programmatic website development in Python easy.Pylons combines the very best ideas from the worlds of Ruby, Python and Perl, providing a structured but extremely flexible Python web framework. Pylons is also one of the first projects that leverages the emerging WSGI standard, which allows extensive re-use and flexibility - but only if you need it.Out of the box, Pylons aims to make web development fast, flexible and easy.Pylons makes it easy to expand on your knowledge of Python to master Pylons for web development. Using a MVC style dispath, Python knowledge is used at various levels:· The Controller is just a basic Python class, called for each request. Customizing the response is as easy as overriding __call__ to make your webapp work how you want.· Mako templating compiles directly to Python byte-code for speed and utilizes Python for template control rather than creating its own template syntax for "for, while, etc"Pylons is built on Paste and allows and encourages use of your favorite Python components and libraries:· Models: SQLAlchemy, SQLObject, plain old DB-API· Templating: Mako, Genshi, Jinja, Kid, Cheetah, or whatever you like - using Buffet· AJAX: Rails-style WebHelpers based on Prototype, or Mochikit, jQuery, Dojo, Ext & more· Request Dispatching: Routes by default, or plug in your favorite Here are some key features of "Pylons": · A framework to make writing web applications in Python easy · Utilizes a minimalist, component-based philosophy that makes it easy to expand on · Harness existing knowledge about Python What's New in This Release: · WARNING: A new option is available to determine whether or not an actions arguments should be automatically attached to ‘c’. To turn off this implicit behavior in environment.py: config = False This is set to True by default. · WARNING: Fixed a minor security hole in the default Pylons error page that could result in an XSS security hole. · WARNING: Fixed a security hole in the default project template to use the StaticURLParser to ensure arbitrary files can’t be sent. · WARNING: Refactored PylonsApp to remove legacy PylonsApp, moved session/cache and routes middleware into the project template. This will require projects to be updated to include those 3 middleware in the projects middleware.py. · Changed to using WebTest instead of paste.fixture for app testing. · Added render_mako_def to render def blocks within a mako template. · Changes to cache_decorator and cached_template to support Beaker API changes in version 1.1. 1.0.3 is still supported. · Fix HEAD requests causing an Exception as if no content was returned by the controller. Fixes #507. Thanks mvtellingen, Petr Kobalicek. · Fix a crash when returning the result of ``etag_cache`` in a controller. Fixes #508. · “response” flag has been removed from pylons.decorators.cache.beaker_cache, as it sends all headers along unconditionally including cookies; additionally, the flag was taking effect in all cases previously so prior versions of beaker_cache are not secure. · In its place, a new option “cache_headers” is provided, which is a tuple of specific header names to be cached. It defaults to (‘content-type’,‘content-length’). · “invalidate_on_startup” flag added to beaker_cache, which provides a “starttime” to the cache such that when the application is started or restarted, the cache entry is invalidated. · Updating host to use 127.0.0.1 for development binding. · Added option to specify the controller name with a controller variable in the controller’s module. This name will be used for the controller class rather than the default naming scheme. · setup.py egg_info now restores projects’ paster_plugins.txt, allowing paster shell to work again after the egg-info directory was lost. fixes #282. Thanks sevkin. · The paste_deploy_config.ini_tmpl template is now located at package/config/deployment.ini_tmpl for new projects. · Project’s default test fixtures no longer hardcode test.ini; the ini file used can now be specified via the nosetests—with-pylons argument (defaults to test.ini in setup.cfg). fixes #400. · @validate now defaults to translating FormEncode error messages via Pylons’ gettext catalog, then falls back to FormEncode’s. fixes #296. Thanks Max Ischenko. · Fixed SQLAlchemy logging not working in paster shell. Fixes #363. Thanks Christoph Haas. · Added optionally engine initialization, to prevent Buffet from loading if there’s no ‘buffet.template_engines’ in the config. · Updated minimal template to work with Tempita and other new templating changes. · Fixed websetup to parse location config file properly when the section isn’t ‘main’. Fixes #399. · Added default Mako filter of escape for all template rendering. · Fixed template for Session.remove inclusion when using SA. Fixed render_genshi to properly use fragment/format options. Thanks Antonin Enfrun. · Remove template engine from load_environment call. · Removing template controller from projects. Fixes #383. · Added signed_cookie method to WebOb Request/Response sub-classes. · Updated project template to setup appropriate template loader and controller template to doc how to import render. · Added documentation for render functions in pylons.templating. · Adding specific render functions that don’t require Buffet. · Added forward controller.util function for forwarding the request to WSGI apps. Fixes #355. · Added default input encoding for Mako to utf-8. Suggested in #348. · Fixed paster controller to raise an error if the controller for it already exists. Fixes #279. · Added init.py to template dir in project template if the template engine is genshi or kid. Fixes #353. · Fixed jsonify to use application/json as its the proper mime-type and now used all over the net. · Fixed minimal template not replacing variables properly. Fixes #377. · Fixed @validate decorator to no longer catch exceptions should they be raised in the action that is supposed to display a form. Fixes #374. · Fixed paster shell command to no longer search for egg_info dir. Allows usage of paster shell with installed packages. Suggested by Gavin Carothers. · Added mimetype function and MIMETypes class for registering mimetypes. · WARNING: Usage of pylons.Response is now deprecated. Please use pylons.response instead. · Removed use of WSGIRequest/WSGIResponse and replaced with WebOb subclasses that implement methods to make it backwards compatible with the Paste wsgiwrappers. · Fixed missing import in template controller. · Deprecated function uses string substitution to avoid Nonetype error when Python optimization is on. Fixes #334. · E-tag cache no longer returns Content-Type in the headers. Fixes #323. · XMLRPCController now properly includes the Content-Length of the response. Fixes #310, thanks Nicholas. · Added SQLAlchemy option to template, which adds SQLAlchemy setup to the project template. · Switched project templating to use Tempita. · Updated abort/redirect_to to use appropriate Response object when WebOb is used. · Updated so that 404’s properly return as Response objects when WebOb is in use instead of WSGIResponse. · Added beaker_cache option to avoid caching/restoring global Response values that were present during the first cache operation. · Adding StatusCodeRedirect to handle internal redirects based on the status code returned by the app. This replaces the use of ErrorDocuments in projects. · Refactored error exceptions to use WebError. · WSGIController now uses the environ references to response, request, and the c object for higher performance. · Added optional use of WebOb instead of paste.wsgiwrapper objects. · Fixed bug with beaker_cache defaulting to dbm rather than the beaker cache app-wide default. · The—with-pylons nose plugin no longer requires a project to have been registered with setuptools to work. · The config object is now included in the template namespace. · StaticJavascripts now accepts keyword arguments for StaticURLParser. Suggested by Marcin Kasperski. · Fix pylons.database.AutoConnectHub’s doInTransaction not automatically connecting when necessary. Fixes #327.
