I'm happy to say that Snakelets 1.35 is available.

Snakelets is a very simple-to-use Python web application server.
This project provides a built-in threaded web server (so you don't
need to set up Apache or another web server), Ypages (HTML+Python
language, similar to Java's JSPs) and Snakelets: code-centric page
request handlers (similar to Java's Servlets).
Snakelets is fully unicode compatible and it's possible to run it
from a CD (read-only mode).

It's released under the open-source MIT Software license.

You can download from http://snakelets.sourceforge.net
(go to the SF project site, and then the file section).

Recent changes include:

* IMPORTANT: privileges are now also checked when using HTTP auth methods
* various documentation improvements and spelling corrections
* LoginPage base class improvements
* Ypage compiler improvements
* general bug fixes
* fixed the http-gzip-compressor plugin (separate download)

To start, edit the vhost config file (see docs) and
then run the serv.py script, or the monitor.py script
if you want to start it as a daemon (on Unix).

Enjoy,
