Nevow is a next-generation web application templating system, based on
|
||
|
|
the ideas developed in the Twisted Woven package. Its main focus is
|
||
|
|
on separating the HTML template from both the business logic and the
|
||
|
|
display logic, while allowing the programmer to write pure Python code
|
||
|
|
as much as possible. It separates your code into 'data' and 'render'
|
||
|
|
functions, a simplified implementation of traditional MVC. It has
|
||
|
|
various parts which can be used individually or as a whole, integrated
|
||
|
|
web solution:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* XHTML templates: contain no programming logic, only nodes tagged
|
||
|
|
with nevow attributes
|
||
|
|
* data/render methods: simplified MVC
|
||
|
|
* stan: An s-expression-like syntax for expressing xml in pure python
|
||
|
|
* formless: For describing the types of objects which may be passed
|
||
|
|
to methods of your classes, validating and coercing string input
|
||
|
|
from either web or command-line sources, and calling your methods
|
||
|
|
automatically once validation passes
|
||
|
|
* freeform: For rendering web forms based on formless type
|
||
|
|
descriptions, accepting form posts and passing them to formless
|
||
|
|
validators, and rendering
|
||
|
|
* error forms in the event validation fails
|
||
|
|
* livepage: Cross-browser JavaScript glue for sending client side
|
||
|
|
events to the server and server side events to the client after the
|
||
|
|
page has loaded, without causing the entire page to refresh
