RhubarbTart web framework

Yet another Python web framework, this one is called RhubarbTart:

RhubarbTart is a light object publishing web framework built on WSGI and Paste … based on the CherryPy object publishing model. It is light and simple, using WSGI components from Paste to compliment the object publishing system with other features typical of a web framework.

The author(s) claim that it isn’t really a new framework, but rather a “combination of two existing frameworks.”

    Hello, I am the lead developer on RhubarbTart.

    I created RhubarbTart after running into a number of issues with CherryPy but as I continue working on it, I am beginning to add features beyond what is included in CherryPy by adding new types of controllers and so on. This is simple since the code is only about 300 lines since most of the difficult parts of making a web framework are handled by Python Paste. I hope to soon be releasing 0.6 which will include output filters and refactoring for creating new resolvers, such as one for REST resources.

    Ian Bickling who helped me get started wrote a document describing how to build an even simpler web framework at http://pythonpaste.org/do-it-yourself-framework.html
