I have temporary (or forever) stopped developing rainfall and switched to aiohttp, which includes a nice high level web framework:
http://aiohttp.readthedocs.org/en/latest/web.html
To start off, rainfall is a micro web framework around asyncio (ex tulip), similiar to the cyclone or tornado. Since it is asyncio based, rainfall is fully asyncronous.
Websocket support is work in progress, should be released soon.
As simple as::
pip install rainfall
.. note:: sometimes pip for python 3 is called pip3, but you may have it with other name
Let's create a simple hello world app in example.py file like this::
import asyncio
from rainfall.web import Application, HTTPHandler
class HelloHandler(HTTPHandler):
@asyncio.coroutine
def handle(self, request):
return 'Hello!'
app = Application(
{
r'^/$': HelloHandler(),
},
)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
Now you can run it by::
python3 example.py
And go to http://127.0.0.1:8888 in browser, you should see "Hello!"
