Current release: WebStack 1.2.7 (supporting BaseHTTPRequestHandler, CGI, Django, Jython/Java Servlet API, mod_python, Twisted, Webware, WSGI and Zope 2)
Google group: webstack-discuss
WebStack is a package which provides a simple, common API for Python Web applications, allowing such applications to run within many different environments with virtually no changes to application code. An application can be prototyped in a simple environment such as the Python standard library BaseHTTPServer and subsequently be deployed as a CGI script, a Django application, a Java servlet, a mod_python handler, a Twisted application, a Webware application, a WSGI application or as a Zope Product.
Yet unlike many frameworks, WebStack is confined to producing a sane API for Web applications (and higher-level frameworks) instead of offering a complete set of technologies for the development of Web applications that may be inappropriate in certain situations. Thus, WebStack does not impose a specific template system or URL mapping mechanism on applications (amongst many things that different frameworks use to differentiate themselves from each other).
WebStack is licensed under the LGPL (version 2 or later).
