Metadata-Version: 1.0 Name: Paste Version: 1.7.4 Summary: Tools for using a Web Server Gateway Interface stack Home-page: http://pythonpaste.org Author: Ian Bicking Author-email: ianb@colorstudy.com License: MIT Description: These provide several pieces of "middleware" (or filters) that can be nested to build web applications. Each piece of middleware uses the WSGI (`PEP 333`_) interface, and should be compatible with other middleware based on those interfaces. .. _PEP 333: http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0333.html Includes these features... Testing ------- * A fixture for testing WSGI applications conveniently and in-process, in ``paste.fixture`` * A fixture for testing command-line applications, also in ``paste.fixture`` * Check components for WSGI-compliance in ``paste.lint`` Dispatching ----------- * Chain and cascade WSGI applications (returning the first non-error response) in ``paste.cascade`` * Dispatch to several WSGI applications based on URL prefixes, in ``paste.urlmap`` * Allow applications to make subrequests and forward requests internally, in ``paste.recursive`` Web Application --------------- * Run CGI programs as WSGI applications in ``paste.cgiapp`` * Traverse files and load WSGI applications from ``.py`` files (or static files), in ``paste.urlparser`` * Serve static directories of files, also in ``paste.urlparser``; also in that module serving from Egg resources using ``pkg_resources``. Tools ----- * Catch HTTP-related exceptions (e.g., ``HTTPNotFound``) and turn them into proper responses in ``paste.httpexceptions`` * Several authentication techniques, including HTTP (Basic and Digest), signed cookies, and CAS single-signon, in the ``paste.auth`` package. * Create sessions in ``paste.session`` and ``paste.flup_session`` * Gzip responses in ``paste.gzip`` * A wide variety of routines for manipulating WSGI requests and producing responses, in ``paste.request``, ``paste.response`` and ``paste.wsgilib`` Debugging Filters ----------------- * Catch (optionally email) errors with extended tracebacks (using Zope/ZPT conventions) in ``paste.exceptions`` * Catch errors presenting a `cgitb `_-based output, in ``paste.cgitb_catcher``. * Profile each request and append profiling information to the HTML, in ``paste.debug.profile`` * Capture ``print`` output and present it in the browser for debugging, in ``paste.debug.prints`` * Validate all HTML output from applications using the `WDG Validator `_, appending any errors or warnings to the page, in ``paste.debug.wdg_validator`` Other Tools ----------- * A file monitor to allow restarting the server when files have been updated (for automatic restarting when editing code) in ``paste.reloader`` * A class for generating and traversing URLs, and creating associated HTML code, in ``paste.url`` The latest version is available in a `Subversion repository `_.
