I'm pretty sure this is a joke/parody. This has to be a joke... On the homepage: (...)

The 'Le's are actually a "feature" of Bootstrap.

I feel like I've been living under a rock. Please replace said rock.

Interesting, I've been building a similar framework at Prontotype -- though with Bottle, Jinja2, MongoDB and Backbone. One thing I'm missing so far is the ability to "generate", maybe I'll add that in and show the world at some point. Good start & good luck.

I haven't found anything much simpler than web.py for putting together a simple python web service, but I'm open to seeing something new. Are there any example projects?

What about Bottle[1]? I love it. [1]: http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/

bottle's great. With any of the microframeworks, transitioning to something a little more hefty is pretty easy. I 'migrated' from bottle to tornado in a matter of a few hours, and I'm a python newbie

One important remark: if you check it out from github, be sure to get the Beta1 branch.

The master branch is really long behind the current development. I also stated that in the screencast.

And as i think about it, some of the comments might refer to the master branch (like the one saying there is no directory structure) which is not the case in Beta1...

Regards

Not familiar with Tornado but are you aware that you can use it as a backend for Bottle?

Hey oinksoft. Dont just punch on top... To your points: 1. The shebang: yes, ouch, gets removed. 2. Pow_console: it is a remark that i too, code from there. I always comment the source if code is not mine. 3. The mentioned code snippets from the homepage are default twitter-bootstrap sources..

Criticism is ok but this is bashing... So, no, its no joke ;)

OK, sorry if I offended you, it's just that some "trolls" are quite subtle and there are enough iffy things that I suspected a joke behind this. The project name also bears similarity to some other projects that have been jokes in the past:

* Cobol on Cogs: http://www.coboloncogs.org/INDEX.HTM

* Bash on Balls: https://github.com/jayferd/balls (more of a bizarre proof of concept than an out-and-out joke)

That's no discredit to your own development abilities because the code itself, while far from perfect, seems sizable and functional enough to show that you've put some real thought and effort into this -- keep it up! With time and a good cleanup effort, I'm sure you'll have something that nobody would bat an eye at.

More than likely, Hacker News picked up the your project website because of its name, and so now the spotlight is shining very harshly indeed. It was unfair of me to judge your project as I did.

P.S. You copied part of the HN commenting interface in your comment, and you don't need to include that.

Intersting that you chose a different framework for almost any field. So there is room ;) I am thinking about a google app engine port but sqlalchemy is a showstopper here .. Need the models to talk GQL ... So i stopped that port for now. Much to do in the base..

Thx, regards, khz
