Flask-like in five lines.

Almost Flask

A Flask near-implementation in less than 10 lines. Written with zero dependencies. Works only with Python 3.

Heavily inspired by almost-sinatra.

Features:

• simplified Flask class
• decorator routing syntax
• subset of route parameter syntax
• GET, POST, PUT, DELETE methods
• request object (args, path, method)
• stand alone usage
• thread safe

Perhaps after you've finished playing with almost_flask you should take a look at Flask for real, because it's quite rad.

Installation

Copy the contents of almost_flask.py into your app file (at the top), that way you also avoid running the wrong version by accident.

Try it

$ python3 example.py
