Project Info

lima was started in 2014 by Bernhard Weitzhofer.

Acknowledgements

lima is heavily inspired by marshmallow, from which it lifts most of its concepts from.

Other than that, the author believes to have benefited a lot from looking at the documentation and source code of other awesome projects, among them (in alphabetical order):

• django
• morepath
• SQLAlchemy

as well as the Python standard library itself. (Seriously, look in there!)

About the Image

The Vicuña is the smallest and lightest camelid in the world. In this 1914 illustration [1], it is depicted next to its bigger and heavier relatives, the Llama and the Alpaca.

Despite its delicate frame, the Vicuña is perfectly adapted to the harsh conditions in the high alpine regions of the Andes. It is a mainly wild animal long time believed to never have been domesticated. Reports of Vicuñas breathing fire are greatly exaggerated.
