Bottle is a WSGI micro web-framework for the Python programming language. It is designed to be fast, simple and lightweight, and is distributed as a single file module with no dependencies other than the Python Standard Library. The same module runs with Python 2.5+ and 3.x.

Contents

It offers request dispatching (routes) with URL parameter support, templates, key-value database, a built-in web server and adapters for many third-party WSGI/HTTP-server and template engines.

It is designed to be lightweight, and to allow development of web applications easily and quickly.
