Add a Python backend

Add Python routes with the @primate/python module. Write routes in Python; Primate compiles them to WebAssembly and wires them like JS routes.

Manage your Primate Python app as you would a normal Python project. Create a venv and use requirements.txt to manage your dependencies to get a complete LSP experience.

1) Install

Install the Primate Python package.

$ npm install @primate/python

2) Configure

Load the Python module in your configuration.

TypeScriptconfig/app.ts

import config from "primate/config";
import python from "@primate/python";

export default config({ modules: [python()] });

3) Write a route

Compose a route in Python.

Pythonroutes/index.py

from primate import Route


@Route.get
def get(request):
    return "Hello from Python"


@Route.post
def post(request):
    return {"ok": True}
