1.3 Batteries Included

Out of the box, httpy includes three responders, to be found in the httpy.responders subpackage:

Multiple: This responder allows you to define a website with multiple responders, using the filesystem for the site's hierarchy. It also has a "framework" concept for implementing site-wide in- and outbound hooks.
Static: The Multiple responder depends on this to serve static files from the filesystem; it can also be used independently.
XMLRPC: With this you can easily implement a robust XMLRPC server.

httpy also comes with three couplers:

CGI: This reconstructs an httpy.Request from a CGI environment and responds to a single request.
FastCGI: Enters a response loop, reconstructing Requests from the environment as with CGI.
StandAlone: A portable, multi-threaded, standalone web server.

Furthermore, the httpy distribution includes an executable, also named httpy, that instantiates the StandAlone coupler with the Multiple responder. Thus, out of the box, httpy provides a robust and sane foundation for your Python websites and web applications.
