Bottle Documentation, Release 0.13-dev
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.
• Routing: Requests to function-call mapping with support for clean and dynamic URLs.
• Templates: Fast and pythonic built-in template engine 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, gae, cherrypy or any other
WSGI capable HTTP server.
Example: “Hello World” in a bottle
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.
