Lightweight Python MVC+ORM website template using Svelte & Postgres 🎪

Circus draws inspiration upon the existing Laravel web framework (including the Eloquent ORM), but with several key distinctions:

• Implemented as a distinct Python web framework
• Built-in user auth & session handling (with bare minimum extensibility )
• No separation between the framework and the template; fork Circus to create your own website, as Circus itself is a template.
  • Create your app in app/
  • Actual WSGI framework is abstracted away in srv/
• Heavily opinionated!
  • Default view system is Svelte with Vite for frontend development
    • Tailwind included & encouraged
  • More granular migration system for extra details in tables, as DB engine is not agnostic (currently solely Postgres)
  • Emphasis on minimizing resource usage, with a relatively more lightweight testing environment than Sail while still utilizing Docker

The ultimate goal of Circus is to enable rapid prototyping of complex websites with the extensibility and ease-of-use provided by Laravel, while being more lightweight & simple on the whole.

• Python v3.10+
• Bun v1.3+
• Docker
