========
Overview
========

Colubrid is a `WSGI`_ publisher which simplifies Python_ web developement.

If you've ever created a WSGI application without a framework of an request
handler you know how hard this can be.

For the full feature list have a look at the `Features`_ page.

Colubrid should be compatible with Python 2.2. If you find a line of code
that doesn't work with 2.2, please `submit a bug`__.

Get Colubrid
============

You can fetch the most recent version of Colubrid on the `Download`_ page.

If you're using `easy_install`_ you can fetch the egg by using this command::

    easy_install Colubrid


Not A Framework
===============

Colubrid is not a framework :-) Although `some`_ people like the idea of
having found a framework in Colubrid. All Colubrid does for you is parsing
form data, URL parameters and cookies and providing an URL dispatcher.


Looking for help?
=================

Colubrid users can post on the `Colubrid Google Group`_.

There is also a small wiki with code snippets in the `Trac`_.
