Bowee

2 minutes

What’s BoWee

BoWee is a bottle project builder. It generates an project architecture and useful files for bottle projects. It was previously name TinyCocktail , but it has been changed.

It uses the MVC architecture. Actually is more Model View Template architecture like in the Django Framework.

It’s currently in development but it’s quite usable, i advise you to use a virtual environment though.

BoWee uses peewee as ORM and obviously bottle as Web Framework.

Requirements

To be able to use BoWee, it’s required to :

Know and have installed Peewee
Know and have installed Bottle

Those packages can be installed like this:

yosuke@loking:~$sudo pip install bottle peewee
