Apper

Apper (name temporary) is a Python WSGI mini-framework designed for quick development with minimal magic.

The primary encapsulation unit is a Python module: Create functions using the provided dectorators in a module, then create an Apper instance, passing it a dictionary of the form path_prefix -> module.

Apper's only dependency is WebOb, and can be installed with pip install webob.
