I would recommend Bottle [0] if you find the frameworks you've mentioned above wanting. I found the documentation pretty easy You write functions or methods to handle routes. Routing can be done through regexes if you want. There is a template system that you can replace if you really want to. Failing that webpy[1] which I haven't used/looked at in ages but what I remember of it is it `stayed out of the way` Cheers, ./fxk [0] http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/ [1] http://webpy.org/ > > Thanks, > > Bill > -- > William Denton > Toronto, Canada > http://www.miskatonic.org/ > -- Dentist, n.: A Prestidigitator who, putting metal in one's mouth, pulls coins out of one's pockets. -- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
