Disclaimer: I am the developer of this framework. Websites are a crucial part of any business. They are the foundation of any online business. Websites are what introduce people to your company and make it easier for them to find your business. However, to build a website, you need to know how to. Today, I will show you how to make a website in python using the . This is the framework I use to build my websites and it is free and open-source. Retica framework Installing Retica Before Installing Retica, it is recommended to create a virtual environment for your project. Create a virtual environment using the following command: $~ python3 -m pip install --upgrade virtualenv 
$~ python3 -m venv env_name
$~ source env_name/bin/activate Retica is available via the pip package manager. $~ pip install retica If you don’t have pip installed, you can install it by running: $~ python -m ensurepip —upgrade Creating a New Retica Project The Retica framework comes with ReticaCLI which is a terminal-based tool that allows you to easily create a new project or run your existing projects. To Create A New Retica Project, run: $~ retica create
Project Name: ProjectName #Use '.' for using the current directory.
Templates Folder: templates #Jinja Templates Folder.
Plugins Folder: plugins #Default Folder To Store Plugins.
Import Frontend Libraries? (y/n): #To Be Implemented.
Creating project... The Folder Structure: ProjectName/
  |- templates/
  |- plugins/
  |- app.py
  |- run.py Exploring app.py import Retica
import Retica.Render
retica = Retica.Server(__name__)

templator = Retica.Render.TemplateRender(retica,template_dir="templates")

@retica.create_endpoint("/hello/{name}")
def index(request: Retica.Request.request, response: Retica.Response.response, **data):
    response.body = f"Hello {data['name']}" In lines 1–2 we import Retica and Retica.Render. In line 3 we create a new instance of the server. In line 5 we create a new instance of the templator. In lines 7–9 we create an endpoint for the server at .This is a dynamic URL. Here is a placeholder for data and the value accessible from the data dictionary. /hello/{name} {name} Exploring run.py from app import retica
from Retica import Sockets

http_socket = Sockets.HTTP_Socket(Sockets.gethostname(), 80)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    retica.run([http_socket]) In lines 1–2 we import your server from and the module from Retica. app.py Sockets In line 4 we create a socket for the server at port 80. In lines 6–7 we call on our server instance by passing the array of sockets. run() As an alternative to using this file, you can also run to start the server directly from the command line. $~ retica run You can create as many endpoints as you want and customize them to suit your needs. I will soon cover Jinja templating, Plugin creation, and an easy sample project. Also Published here
