web.py

I recently came across web.py, a powerful web framework for Python that’s both simple to use and highly efficient. One of the most attractive things about web.py, aside from its robust features and functionality, is that it’s released under the Public Domain license, which means you can use it for whatever purpose you want without any restrictions whatsoever.

To give you an idea of how easy it is to get started with web.py, here's a code snippet that demonstrates how to set up a simple application:

```import web
urls = ( '/(.*)', 'hello' )
app = web.application(urls, globals())
class hello:
def GET(self, name):
if not name:
name = 'world'
return 'Hello, ' + name + '!'
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()```

As you can see, this code sets up a basic web application that listens on the root URL and returns a greeting message with the given name or a default “world.”

Web.py is used by a variety of companies and organizations, including Reddit and Yandex, as well as watchdog.net, colr.org, ChiefMall, grouplite.com, LShift, micropledge, jottit.com, Tasko, Damiga, Fotosaur.us, URIs.us, xykra, and Edgarest, among others.

One of the reasons it’s so popular with developers is its minimalist approach to web development. As founder Steve Huffman explains, "It's the anti-framework framework. web.py doesn't get in your way." This allows developers to focus on their projects and achieve their goals without unnecessary obstacles.

If you’re looking for a web framework that’s straightforward, efficient, and highly customizable, web.py is definitely worth checking out. Whether you’re building simple or complex web applications, web.py provides the flexibility and functionality you need to achieve your goals, without the steep learning curve of more heavyweight frameworks.
