Web Components

For use with some of the frameworks listed on WebFrameworks, the components/libraries/toolkits on this page often attempt to solve common problems in a way that can work with more than one particular framework; the idea being that you choose the component which does a particular job and it hopefully works with the framework you're developing your application in.

Authorization Toolkits

These allow you to add authorization to your web applications.

Form Handling

  • WTForms is a forms validation and rendering library for python web development.

  • FormEncode - is a validation and form generation package.

  • FormBuild - FormBuild is a package designed to help with the generation of HTML form components.

  • tw.forms - Web Widgets for building and validating forms.

  • Deform is a featureful framework-agnostic form generation system.

Request Dispatchers

A dispatcher takes the requests (i.e. the URL that a user types in) and then provides the response (i.e. the web application that creates the webpage that the user sees).

  • Routes is a Python re-implementation of the Rails routes system for mapping URL's to Controllers/Actions and generating URL's. Routes makes it easy to create pretty and concise URL's that are RESTful with little effort.

  • selector - provides WSGI middleware for "RESTful" mapping of URL paths to WSGI applications.

  • Colubrid is a WSGI publisher which simplifies Python web developement.If you've ever created a WSGI application without a framework of an request handler you know how hard this can be.

Templating Engines

Templating engines allow you to separate your application code from the presentation. Many of these engines can be used alone or within a high-level framework. A more extensive list can be found on the Templating page.

  • Jinja2 is a small but fast and easy to use stand-alone template engine written in pure python.

  • Chameleon is a fast implementation of both TAL and Genshi syntaxes that compiles templates to python byte-code on first use.

  • ClearSilver is a templating framework for Python/C/Perl, this templating system is used in Google Groups & ...

  • Myghty (1.0 Released 2006-01-27) is a Python based templating framework originally based on HTML::Mason

  • Mako is an all-new templating engine which represents the best ideas of Myghty distilled into a completely-rewritten and updated API and syntax.

  • Ophelia (0.3 Released 2007-07-06) Generates XHTML pages from TAL templates. This avoids repetitive code, allows the site content to reside in the file system instead of a database, and lets Python scripts make the content dynamic.

  • JonsPythonModules (1.06 Released 2004-04-11) a set of simple yet powerful multi-threaded object-oriented CGI/FastCGI/mod_python/html-templating modules for Python

  • Cheetah - Cheetah is a Python-powered template engine and code generator. It may be used as a standalone utility or combined with other tools.

  • Genshi is a Python library that provides an integrated set of components for parsing, generating, and processing HTML, XML or other textual content for output generation on the web.
