A simple, minimalistic and expandable webserver providing simple web services.

The server built with Twisted and loads all .py files in /services as their own page. The service must set these names:

• name: A string displayed on the frontpage in bold.
• description: The description displayed on the frontpage
• show: boolean value on wether the service should be shown on the frontpage or not
• Page: A Twisted Resource class, your service's top node.

These are added to __builtin__ for the services to use:

• PageBase - A modified Twisted Resource class, which handles 404 replies and provides the object Template in self. Template mainly contains the function MakePage(request, body, title=None), used to dress up the output html body nicely.
• Services - A dictionary containing all the services as modules, indexed by name
• Settings - Contains the config in a ConfigParser object under the name "conf"
• reactor - in case you need access to it before reactor.run() is called

Dependencies:

• Twisted
• pyOpenSSL
• And because of OpenSSL: service_identity
• SQLAlchemy
• diblertx(wip) plans to use txpostgres instead
