======== liveview

Real time browser <> ASGI communication / re-rendering for Python (inspired by Phoenix Live View)

.. warning:: Experimental Software

Description

Erlang, Elixir and Phoenix are awesome… but sometimes we just need something that is simpler and that must run on Python.

This package provides a simple implementation for something that resembles Phoenix LiveView, but less ambitious and much more unstable. The main idea is to be able to drive changes in the browser using a Python ASGI server.

Example Use Cases

• Live editing and responsive preview for

  • SVG
  • markdown
  • reStructuredText (and other markup languages …)
  • plantUML
  • nwDiag
  • graphviz (and other text-driven diagram tools …)

• matplotlib graphs and other kinds of server generated content

• Avoid writing JS for simple applications

Note

This project has been set up using PyScaffold 3.2.3. For details and usage information on PyScaffold see https://pyscaffold.org/.
