Quickstart

Let’s learn the basics of using Pykour. Follow the Installation for project setup and Pykour installation.

Hello, World!

A minimal Pykour application looks like this:

from pykour import Pykour

app = Pykour()

@app.route('/')
def hello():
    return { "message": "Hello, Pykour!" }

What is this code doing?

1. First, it imports the Pykour class from the pykour module.
2. Next, it creates an instance of the Pykour class and assigns it to the app variable.
3. It defines the / route using the route() decorator.
4. The hello() function returns a dictionary with a single key-value pair.

Save this code with a name like main.py.

To run the application, you need to tell the pykour command where your application is located by specifying main:app.

$ pykour dev main:app

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8000/. You should see the text {"message": "Hello, Pykour"}.
