In plain words

importd is a lightweight Django framework that eliminates the need for traditional project setup. Instead of creating separate project structures, apps, and configuration files, developers can build Django applications from a single Python file using just an import statement. It removes requirements for settings.py, urls.py, and manage.py files, streamlining the development process for those who want to quickly prototype or build simple Django-based applications without the typical boilerplate.

From the sources

importd is the fastest way to django. No project creation, no apps, no settings.py, just an import. Slides of a talk I gave about importd: http://amitu.com/importd/ importd is being developed on http://github.com/amitu/importd/ . See the Changelog: https://github.com/amitu/importd/blob/master/ChangeLog.rst . With importd there is no need to create a django project or app. There is no settings.py or urls.py, nor is there a need of manage.py. A single file is sufficient, e.g. hello.py: Further d.do() method can be used to call management command, eg d.do(“syncdb”) from python code. importd sets DEBUG to true. This can be disabled by calling d(DEBUG=False) before any other importd…from pythonhosted.org

The core aim was to make it easy and fast to…

    Hey HN, I’m Jimmy, co-founder of Dropbase (https://www.dropbase.io). We are an internal tools builder for Python developers. All you have to do is import any Python scripts/libraries, declare UI components, and layer app permissions so you can share them with others. We’re a middle ground between Airplane and Retool—simpler UI creation than Airplane, more code-centered than Retool. UI building is declarative and you can bind Python scripts/functions to UI components. You can write Python scripts/functions using our App Studio with support from a Python Language…
