func/templates/python

Python

Python support consists of two templates, "http" and "cloudevents", and scaffolding which is used to connect user Functions to the func-python middleware.

When a user creates a new Python Function, either the "http" (default) or "cloudevents" template is written out as their new Function's initial state.

When a Function is built, such as on deploy, the contents of the scaffolding directory herein is written on-demand, effectively wrapping the user's Function in an app which uses the functions middleware to expose the Function as a service. This "scaffolded" Function is thus able to be containerized and deployed. see knative-extensions/func-python for the middleware, which includes examples.

The core templates are intentionally minimal. Additional templates can be used from templates repositories, such as the officially supported func-templates.

See the README.md in each directory for more information.
