Werkzeug
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Werkzeug started as simple collection of various utilities for WSGI
|
|
applications and has become one of the most advanced WSGI utility
|
|
modules. It includes a powerful debugger, full featured request and
|
|
response objects, HTTP utilities to handle entity tags, cache control
|
|
headers, HTTP dates, cookie handling, file uploads, a powerful URL
|
|
routing system and a bunch of community contributed addon modules.
|
|
|
|
Werkzeug is unicode aware and doesn't enforce a specific template
|
|
engine, database adapter or anything else. It doesn't even enforce
|
|
a specific way of handling requests and leaves all that up to the
|
|
developer. It's most useful for end user applications which should work
|
|
on as many server environments as possible (such as blogs, wikis,
|
|
bulletin boards, etc.).
|
|
|
|
Details and example applications are available on the
|
|
`Werkzeug website <http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/>`_.
