We built this Python webapp in under an hour as part of the demo for "Bottle: When Small is Good" (Meetup link).

The webapp is meant to expose a simple API over a corpus of zip codes and their associated data.

zipserver_annotated.py represents the [annotated] final version, so it doesn't include several of the intermediate teaching points I included during its construction.

It was created quickly, without any deep regard for extensibility. It's meant to be instructive, not realistic. For example, there is no error checking, only minimal data validation, and the Bottle variables are fully qualified (e.g., "bottle.HTTPError" instead of "HTTPError") to help make explicit where Bottle is involved.

Some usage:

python ./zipserver.py
