Introduction

Firenado is a Python web framework that primarily extends the Tornado framework and runs over it’s web server.

A Firenado application is organized in loose couple components and it is wired using yaml config files. The framework makes possible to develop components that can be shared between applications and distributed separately.

When you develop with Firenado you can use the our server side session layer based on files or redis, and you can develop a custom storage.

Other features are offered shiped at the framework core or via components.

Instalation

pip install firenado

Usage

Creating and running a new application:

firenado project init helloworld
cd helloworld
firenado app run

By default an application will be created with a redis based session and a redis data source defied and linked to the session.

Firenado don’t install redispy so it is necessary to either install it or turn the session as file based. You can disable the session engine too.

To change the session type to file go to helloworld/conf/firenado.yml and change the session definition to:

# Session types could be:
# file or redis.
session:
 type: file
 enabled: true
 # Redis session handler configuration
 # data:
 #   source: session
 # File session handler related configuration
 path: /tmp

If your helloworld project isn’t on the python path just go helloworld/conf/firenado.yml and configure the application settings:

app:
  component: helloworld
  data:
  sources:
     # Set here references from sources defined on data.sources
     - session
  pythonpath: ..
  port: 8888
