WebpyApplication
================


The ``WebpyApplication`` works in the same way as the `RegexApplication`_ but
calls the callbacks in a different way::

    from colubrid import WebpyApplication, HttpResponse, execute

    class HelloWorld(object):
        def GET(self, name):
            name = name or 'world'
            try:
                times = int(self.request.args['times'])
            except:
                times = 1
            resp = HttpResponse()
            resp['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain'
            for i in xrange(times):
                resp.write('Hello %s!\n' % name)
            return resp

    class WebpyLike(WebpyApplication):
        urls = [
            (r'^(.*)$', HelloWorld)
        ]

    app = WebpyLike

    if __name__ == '__main__':
        execute(app)

When the user requests data (``REQUEST_METHOD`` is ``GET``), it calls
``callback.GET``. When the user sends form data to the application
(``REQUEST_METHOD`` is `POST`), ``WebpyApplication`` calls ``callback.POST``.
