Welcome to Viverra, a web development framework written in the Python programming language. It's meant to be easy to use, no-nonsense, and non-intrusive, allowing you to use the functionality you think best, and concentrate on coding your web application.

Viverra is a general solution to a specific problem - that of building FerretBrain - and a tool for learning about web development by participating in it. Viverra is WSGI-compliant.

It should be stressed, though, that the goal of Viverra is not to be stuffed as full of features as other frameworks -- it doesn't have a built-in web server, or an SQL object-relational mapper, or a templating system -- it's certainly not an attempt at a Ruby-on-Rails clone. It does what it needs to: provides a convenient translation layer between a web application's logic and the details of serving it to the web. Viverra is meant to be convenient and easy to deploy, and is aimed at small-to-medium projects.
