ANN: Snakelets 1.24 (simple-to-use web app server with dynamic pages)

[Irmen de Jong]

I'm happy to say that Snakelets 1.24 is available.

Snakelets is a Python web application server, mainly for educational
purposes (but it works fine, mind you). This project provides a threaded web
server, Ypages (HTML+Python language, similar to Java's JSPs) and Snakelets:
code-centric page request handlers (similar to Java's Servlets).
It is possible to run Snakelets off a CD (read-only mode).

You can download from http://snakelets.sourceforge.net
More info on that site.

Enjoy,

Interesting! There is definitely a niche for an app server that is
simpler to use than Zope. Could this be used for a simple CMS, i.e.
simpler than Plone? If so, are you aware of any examples of such a
use?

thanks

Snakelets is a bare bone web app server (modeled after Java's
JSP/Servlets). It provides the necessary foundation to build a dynamic
web site/application, but not much more.
A CMS is a (possibly quite complex) piece of software that must be
built on top of it. What did you have in mind?
