Quixote is asoftware framework for developingweb applications inPython. Quixote "is based on a simple, flexible design, making it possible to write applications quickly and to benefit from the wide range of available third-party Pythonmodules".[4]
A Quixote application is typically a Python package, a collection of modules grouped into a singledirectory tree. Quixote then maps aURL to afunction ormethod inside the Python package; the function is then called with the contents of theHTTP request, and the results are returned to theclient.
