Originally, I envisioned the `BaseApplication` class calling its `setup_routes` method to set up the request dispatcher, eliminating the need for subclasses to explicitly call it. This is unlikely to work, however, as it will end up being called too early, as there will not yet have been a chance to update the application configuration dictionary. If any controller callables use the application configuration when they are initialized, they will not have correct information. As such, I decided to go ahead and remove this method and let subclasses implement and call it when it makes sense.

Milla
=====
*Milla* is a simple and lightweight web framework for Python. It built on top
of `WebOb`_ and thus implements the `WSGI`_ standard. It aims to be easy to use
while imposing no restrictions, allowing web developers to write code the way
they want, using the tools, platform, and extensions they choose.
To get started using *Milla* right away, visit `Downloads`_ to get the latest
version, then read the `Documentation`_.
Example
=======
.. code:: python
from wsgiref import simple_server
from milla.dispatch import routing
import milla
def hello(request):
return 'Hello, world!'
router = routing.Router()
router.add_route('/', hello)
app = milla.Application(router)
httpd = simple_server.make_server('', 8080, app)
httpd.serve_forever()
