Reahl: The Python-only web framework
summary
Reahl claims full web apps written purely in Python, hiding HTML JavaScript and CSS behind Python widget classes that are instantiated per request; latest release is about 26,000 lines of code with roughly 40% tests. Pages compose widgets, AJAX requests ask the server to render single widgets, server-side sorting/pagination is demonstrated with ~200 speakers shown three at a time, and permissions can gray out buttons automatically; degrades gracefully without JavaScript, plans to use Bootstrap, but features like responsive disclosure are not yet implemented.
