Quixote: a Python-Centric Web Application Framework (Linux Journal)
[Posted July 22, 2002 by corbet]
The Linux Journal has
an introduction to
the Quixote web application framework written by one of its authors.
Quixote, of course, is the framework used here at LWN. "
Thus, in
creating Quixote, we shamelessly
stole Zope's best idea (mapping URLs to Python objects) and geared the
whole thing towards Python programmers. The most obvious example of
this is that where Zope maps URLs to arbitrary objects in an object
database, Quixote maps them to Python packages, modules and functions--objects
that are easily created and manipulated by Python programmers
using nothing more than a text editor. The result is a web application
framework
that makes the creation of dynamic web pages so easy it almost feels like
cheating."
