Quixote
=======

Quixote is a framework for developing Web applications in Python.
The target is web applications that are developed and maintained by
Python programmers.

For installation instructions, see the doc/INSTALL.txt file.  For
the impatient, install the package using setup.py and then run:

Note that you can copy the mini_demo.py file somewhere and use it as a
starting point for your application if you like.

Documentation is available in the doc/ directory.

Quixote includes PTL, the Python Template Language for producing
HTML with Python code.  Note that the use of PTL is not required in
Quixote applications.  Details about PTL are provided in
