[Web-SIG] [ANN] Aspen 0.5 -- module reloading & directory handlers

[Chad Whitacre]

Hey all,

Another Aspen release today (Aspen is a Python web server). This 
one adds:

   - automatic restart when source files change
   - handlers for directories as well as files

With the latter I've implemented directory browsing as part of 
the default configuration.

My plan is to implement logging and daemonization in version 0.6. 
Then I hope to upgrade a few of my current sites to Aspen 0.6, 
and go from there. I've got some cool virtual hosting ideas, for 
example.

Has anyone else touched this? Can I maybe ask a question? What 
use case do you have that Aspen *might* support but you're not 
sure? Or to put it another way, fill in the blank: "Yes, but can 
it do ___________."

I'm pretty excited about how Aspen is turning out, and I'd love 
any feedback anyone's got, pro or con.

Thanks!
