I am used to PHP having applications. For example,

c:\xampp\htdocs\app1
c:\xampp\htdocs\app2

can be accessed as

localhost://app1/page.php
localhost://app2/page.php

Things to be noticed:

  1. a directory placed inside the www-root directory maps directly with the URL
  2. when a file/directory is added/removed/changed, the worker processes seamlessly reflect that change (new files are hot-deployed).

I am on the lookout for a mature python web framework. Its for a web API which will be deployed for multiple clients, and each copy will diverge on customization. And our workflow has frequent interaction/revision cycles between us and our clients. Hence the “drag and drop” deployment is a must.

Which python framework enables this? I prefer a lightweight solution (which doesnt impose MVC, ORMs etc)

    No mature python framework that I’m aware of allows you to map urls to python modules, and frankly, for good reason. You can do this with CGI, but it’s definitely not the recommended way to deploy python apps. Setting that requirement aside, flask and bottle are both lightweight micro web-frameworks with similar approaches, both allow you to reload automatically when changes are detected (this is only wise during development).
