asfquart - a Quart framework for the ASF

This is a Quart framework for ASF web applications.

On top of Quart, this package layers a lot of functionality, much of which is specific to the ASF and its infrastructure and preferred approaches for website application development.

asfquart adds the following items to basic quart:

• simple construction of the APP
• default config.yaml
• watching the .py and config for changes, to cause a restart/reload
• watch SIGINT to halt and SIGUSR2 to restart/reload
• template watching and rendering for EZT templates
• URL path routing for pages and API endpoints
• Oauth with our ASF provider for authn
• LDAP group testing for authz
• long-running tasks and their lifecycle management

Current users of asfquart:

Future users of asfquart:

• Apache STeVe
• Identity management (replaces the old id.a.o)
