SkunkWeb Description

Free and open source web application server SkunkWeb is an extensible, easy to use and scalable web application server designed for handling high-traffic sites as well as small sites. Uses Python· Python is easy to learn for both new programmers and experts alike· senior programmer types like it too (vs. say tcl)· extensible with C/C++ for speed and/or linkage to C/C++ libraries via static *or* dynamic linking Extensible· Relatively simple extension API· can easily handle authentication, url building/parsing and custom tags Encourages component based design· more than just "include"· not just another ASP/JSP like thing· a powerful templating language· encouraged by caching options (see below)· component output can be either HTML or Python objects· can write components in either STML or Python· can also call components on other skunk servers Message Catalogs· makes multi-lingual sites much easier· support variable substitution in messagesSpeed· templates are compiled to Python bytecode· extensive caching (to disk and optionally memory)· cache *is* sharable between machines if using a shared filesystem! (can be more than one shared filesystem for speed, redundancy and flexibility)· caching is flexible and as finite as your disk space· components can be rendered after the response is sent if a slightly stale version is available --- resulting in better response times NOTE: SkunkWeb is licensed and distributed under the terms of the BSD License and GNU General Public License (GPL).
