Stumbled across an interesting web framework called RIP, by Luke Arno. It seems to be made up of pieces he’s all made himself.
Going through the obligatory quick wiki example, I like the style of it. Straightforward, obvious, no magic (one of his stated aims). It’s only 0.1 at the moment but I’m going to keep an eye on it; maybe steal some bits.
It does use a very frameworky style. It has a command-line tool that generates loads of boilerplate for you (just like TurboGears). Not keen on that as a style. Having played with web.py and Arc recently, I really like the idea of starting with a single blank file and adding in what you need from there, rather than starting with a large number of files. (It’s possibly no coincidnce that both of those have some sort of link back to Paul Graham).
