denied

No installation or configuration required. No dependencies other than the Python standard library. Just get a copy of deny.py, place it into your project directory and start coding.

from deny import *

@route('/')
def hello():
    return 'Hello World!'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    run()

That's it! Now run your application and go to http://localhost:5000/ and your application will greet you!
