Create a Magicweb Application

Create a virtualenv and install Magicweb

Before installing, create a python vitual environment with the following command: python -m venv venv.

Activate the virtual environment with source venv/bin/activate on Mac and Linux, or venv\Scripts\activate on Windows.

Now let's install the magicweb package with the following command: pip install magicweb (See here for more details).

Create a new Magicweb application

Now lets import App from magicweb and create a new application.

from magicweb import Magicweb
app = Magicweb(__file__)

What we did here is create a new App object. The first argument is the path to the current file. This is used to find the templates and static files.

App also has an optional template_folder argument. If you want to use a different template folder, you can set it here. By default, it is set to templates.

...
app = Magicweb(__file__, template_folder='templates2')

Run the application

To run the application, we need to call the run method and supply the app name as a parameter.

...
app.run(app)
