Pump User Manual

Pump is a dead simple abstraction of HTTP for Python.

Summary

The Pump specification consists of headers, requests, responses, apps, and middleware. Below are examples of each.

Pump requests.

{"server_port": "80",
 "server_name": "127.0.0.1",
 "remote_addr": "127.0.0.1",
 "uri": "/",
 "scheme": "http",
 "method": "get",
 "headers":
   {"accept_charset": "ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3",
    "connection": "keep-alive",
    "host": "localhost:8000",
    ...}}

Pump responses.

{"status": 200,
 "headers": {"content_type": "text/plain"},
 "body": "Hello!"}

Pump apps.

def app(req):
  if req["uri"] == "/favicon.ico":
    return {"status": 404, headers: {}, body: "Not Found"}
  return {"status": 200,
          "headers": {"content_type": "text/html"},
          "body": "<h1>Hello!</h1>"}

Pump middleware.

def wrap_with_logger(app):
  def wrapped(req):
    response = app(req)
    print "%s %s\n  => %s" % (req["method"],
                              req["uri"],
                              response)
    return response
  return wrapped

For the detailed specification, see SPEC.md.

Getting started

Installation

To install, type

$ pip install pump

or grab the code from Github:

$ git clone git://github.com/adeel/pump.git
$ cd pump
$ python setup.py install

Running your app

Pump comes with an adapter for the Paste WSGI server. If you don't have that installed, do

$ pip install Paste

and then to run your app:

import pump
pump.adapters.serve_with_paste(app, {"port": 3000})

Soon, Pump will come with adapters for other popular WSGI servers.

Thanks

Pump was heavily inspired by Clojure's Ring. Thanks, Mark McGranaghan!
