Bottle is a WSGI micro web-framework for the Python programming language. It is designed to be fast, simple and lightweight, and is distributed as a single file module with no dependencies other than the Python Standard Library. The same module runs with Python 2.5+ and 3.x.^[2]

It offers request dispatching (routes) with URL parameter support, templates, key-value database, a built-in web server and adapters for many third-party WSGI/HTTP-server and template engines.^[3]

It is designed to be lightweight, and to allow development of web applications easily and quickly.^[4]

Features

• Single file which runs with both Python 2.5+ and 3.x
• Can run as a standalone web server or be used behind ("mounted on") any web server which supports WSGI
• Built-in template engine called SimpleTemplate Engine
• Support for JSON client data (for ReST and JavaScript clients)
• Plugins for popular databases and key/value stores and other features^[5]

Example

A simple "Hello World!"

from bottle import route, run, template

@route('/hello/<name>')
def index(name):
    return template('<b>Hello {{name}}</b>!', name=name)

run(host='localhost', port=8080)
