ronpastore / shell_mvc

A rough mvc framework for python shell scripts, using parameter combinations, it routes input to controllers and facilitates access to models and output formatting with views.

############Description##################

A rough MVC framework for viewing data over stdin/stdout.

A routing mechanism reconciles each unique combination of inputs to a handler (a method in a controller class).

The contollers get their data from entities declared in model classes, which use local dummy dictionaries as a read-only data source. Future versions may supply pckling objects to/from file storage.

Controller results are assumed to be lists of dictionaries, and are routed to either a base view/formatter or a raw data view depending on the inclusion of a decorator at the controller method. Future versions may include specifying the view name with the decorator.
