PyFastLAMP : Opensource minimal Web Application template in Python

2026.04.29 @12:32

		Lately I've been working on several personal projects for me, friends and associations I'm part of. The time to do the initial setup of a project for a web app (without using lowcode online providers) is actually quite significant even with an AI assistant to build : public, registered, manager and admin pages with always the same security layer, reset password, account management and other basic necessary pages and features using internationalisation.

After the usual copy/paste/remove/restart/improve from one repository to the next, I wanted to have a boilerplate to start each project from and why not share with others so after a while I just opened PyFastLAMP to the public :

https://github.com/halfarchange/pyfastlamp

It’s a minimal FastAPI web application template for quickly starting small Python web apps without rebuilding the same foundations every time.

It includes:

    FastAPI + SQLModel
    Alembic migrations
    SQLite or MySQL support
    Jinja2 templates
    secure cookie authentication + CSRF protection
    public, authenticated, manager and admin areas
    SQLAdmin back office
    registration and password reset flows
    optional SMTP email support
    CSV-based i18n for templates and Python code
    an automated test suite
    a small init script to rename the project cleanly to your project

The goal is not to create another framework, but to provide a simple, readable boilerplate with the pieces all small web apps need from day one.

It is meant to be easy to inspect, modify, and use as a base for experiments, internal tools, prototypes, or small to medium production apps.

Feedback, issues and contributions are welcome. For devs, don't be shy to try it, you can have it installed in minutes, in particular if you already have python3 installed (which is by default on most OS expect Windows), it's pretty straightforward in several command lines.
