Best way to create a simple python web service

0 votes

I've been using python for years, but I have little experience with python web programming. I'd like to create a very simple web service that exposes some functionality from an existing python script for use within my company. It will likely return the results in csv. What's the quickest way to get something up? If it affects your suggestion, I will likely be adding more functionality to this, down the road.

web.py is probably the simplest web framework out there. "Bare" CGI is simpler, but you're completely on your own when it comes to making a service that actually does something.

"Hello, World!" according to web.py isn't much longer than an bare CGI version, but it adds URL mapping, HTTP command distinction, and query parameter parsing for free:

import web urls = ( '/(.*)', 'hello' )

app = web.application(urls, globals())

class hello:

def GET(self, name):

if not name: name = 'world'

return 'Hello, ' + name + '!'

if __name__ == "__main__":

app.run()
