Hey everyone,
I’m working on a web app and I’m stuck. I’ve got this cool Sproutcore frontend, but I’m not sure how to connect it to my custom Python backend. The backend handles all the database stuff.
I know Django is an option, but it seems like overkill for what I need. Plus, I don’t want to use its ORM. I’m looking for a simpler Python solution.
Any ideas on how to make this work? I’d really appreciate some advice from folks who’ve done something similar.
Thanks in advance for your help!
For your Sproutcore and Python backend integration, I’d recommend considering Pyramid. It’s a flexible, lightweight framework that can easily accommodate your custom backend needs without the overhead of Django. Pyramid allows you to create RESTful APIs efficiently, which would interface well with your Sproutcore frontend.
One advantage of Pyramid is its modularity. You can choose your preferred ORM or work directly with SQL if that suits your project better. It also provides excellent documentation and a supportive community.
To connect your Sproutcore UI, you’d create API endpoints in Pyramid that your frontend can interact with via AJAX calls. Ensure you implement proper CORS handling if your frontend and backend are on different domains or ports.
Have you explored any Python microframeworks yet? What specific database operations are you handling in your backend?
ooh, interesting setup! have u looked into fastapi? it’s super speedy and works great with python. plus, it’s got awesome docs. what kinda database r u using? maybe we could brainstorm some cool ways to optimize ur backend. wanna share more about ur project?
hey, have u tried flask? its lighter than django and lets u set up REST endpoints for your sproutcore app. plus, u can pick any db library. just note use CORS if they’re on diff ports. good luck!
