============================

Bottle is a fast, simple and lightweight WSGI_ micro web-framework for Python_. It is distributed as a single file module and has no dependencies other than the `Python Standard Library <http://docs.python.org/library/>`_.


* **Routing:** Requests to function-call mapping with support for clean and  dynamic URLs.
* **Templates:** Fast and pythonic `*built-in template engine* <http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/tutorial.html#tutorial-templates>`_ and support for mako_, jinja2_ and cheetah_ templates.
* **Utilities:** Convenient access to form data, file uploads, cookies, headers and other HTTP-related metadata.
* **Server:** Built-in HTTP development server and support for paste_, fapws3_, bjoern_, `Google App Engine <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/>`_, cherrypy_ or any other WSGI_ capable HTTP server.

Example: "Hello World" in a bottle
----------------------------------

.. code-block:: python

  from bottle import route, run, template

  @route('/hello/<name>')
  def index(name):
      return template('<b>Hello {{name}}</b>!', name=name)

  run(host='localhost', port=8080)

Run this script or paste it into a Python console, then point your browser to `<http://localhost:8080/hello/world>`_. That's it.
