What

PythonOnWheels (or short PoW) is a small and quick rapid web application generator framework for Python.
If you to want start to develop your web-application and focus on the App, instead of the framework, you are in the right place.

PythonOnWheels feels right if you do not recognize that you use it.

I like to thank the brilliant ideas and implementations of Ruby on Rails. Patterns and theory were there, but, but rails really brought it to life. I like to keep it simple, though ;)

How

PythonOnWheels doesn't reinvent the wheel but is based on the brilliant frameworks out there. Namely:

So if you are building an app on PoW you are relying on the Python standard libs out there.

PoW just brings it all together in a way that you can focus on your app instead of focusing on the frameworks.
