As of July 18, 2011, tipfy is looking for a new maintainer.
Contact us through our mailing list.
In the meantime, we highly recommend webapp2.
tipfy is a small but powerful framework made specifically for
Google App Engine.
It is a lot like
webapp:
from tipfy import RequestHandler, Response
class HelloWorldHandler(RequestHandler):
def get(self):
return Response('Hello, World!')
...but offers a bunch of features and goodies that webapp misses: i18n,
sessions, own authentication, flash messages and more. Everything in a modular,
lightweight way, tuned for App Engine. You use only what you need, when you
need.
Want to know more? Download the
zip
or tar.gz,
then dive into the documentation
and have fun!
Why don't you pick instead some framework that was meant for App Engine
from the word "go" and is lightweight and dandy, such as tipfy? It gives
you authentication using its own user system or any of App Engine's own
users, OpenId, OAuth and Facebook; sessions with secure cookies or GAE
datastore; and much more besides, all in a superbly lightweight
"non-framework" approach based on WSGI and Werkzeug. What's not to
like?!
