The talk “Morepath: a Python Web Framework with Super Powers" will be given by Martijn Faassen.
Morepath is a Python WSGI framework written with modern, rich client web development in mind. It uses routing, but the routing is to models. Morepath is model-driven and flexible, which makes it expressive.
- Morepath does not get in your way.
- It lets you express what you want, easily.
- It’s extensible, with a simple, coherent and universal extension and override mechanism, supporting reusable code.
- It understands about generating hyperlinks. The web is about hyperlinks and Morepath actuallyknows about them.
- Views are simple functions. Generic views are just views too.
- It has all the tools to develop REST web services in the box.
