iommi

iommi is a django-based framework for even higher abstraction and faster development than django itself.

Major features:

• A system to project django model definitions into more high level definitions
• Forms: view models, data validation, and parsing
• Queries: filtering lists/query sets
• Tables: view models for lists/query sets, html tables, and CSV reports
• Pages: compose pages from parts like forms, tables and html fragments

All the components are written with the same philosophy of:

• Everything has a name
• Traversing a namespace is done with __ when . can't be used in normal python syntax
• Callables for advanced usage, values for the simple cases
• Late binding
• Declarative/programmatic hybrid API
• Prepackaged commonly used patterns (that can still be customized!)
• Single point customization with no boilerplate
• Escape hatches included

See philosophy for explanations of all these.

Example:

def music_page(request):
    class MusicPage(Page):
        musicians = Table(
            auto__model=Musician,
        )
        albums = Table(
            auto__model=Album,
        )

    return MusicPage()

This creates a page with two separate tables, one for the model Musician and one for the model Album.
