Web Application Framework

Airy Web Application Framework

Airy is a new Web application development framework.

Contrast to most currently available frameworks, Airy doesn't use the standard notion of HTTP requests and pages.

Instead, it makes use of WebSockets (via Socket.io) and provides a set of tools to let you focus on the interface, not content delivery.

Currently Airy supports MongoDB only. We will support other NoSQL databases, but we have no plans for supporting SQL.

Requirements

Airy will install most required modules itself when you create a new project, so all you need is:

• Python 2.6+
• MongoDB

Installation

pip install airy

This will install Airy itself and the airy-admin.py script.

Usage

Once you have it installed, you should be able to use airy-admin.py

To create a new project, open a terminal and do:

airy-admin.py startproject project_name
cd project_name/
python manage.py update_ve
python manage.py runserver

You should have it running locally on port 8000. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000

Note: if it complains about a "Connection Error" it means you have no MongoDB running, or it's dead.
