Building a framework

[Muhammad Zuhair Askari]

Hi! I want  to develop a framework like Django, Flask etc. using python as a final year project of my graduation. This may be very useful for learning purpose. Can anybody tell me how much time will it take for a not well experienced python developer? And is it a good Final Year Project?

That is highly ambitious and may not be all that attainable given you describe your exprience as a not well experienced python developer.  You might find it a better learning exercise to create a plugin or package that can be used by Django or Flask.  That would give you exposure to the internals of the framework and the overall design and code.

Hi,

If you consider that Django has been in development over 10 years now and been developed by several individuals. So building a framework like Django doesn't happen overnight.

Flask is microframework, containing very minimal set of tools and relying on external components. Building something like Flask could be possible since you wouldn't need to deal with complex issues like ORM or database supports.

- Well planned is half done, and a half done has been sufficient before...

Yes, What if I move towards building such framework like Flask, I even want to make more simpler and having less features (just basic features) framework, will that be useful for learning web in a bit deeper and is it worthy for a final Year Project for an under-graduate level student? Or there is another choice that what If I just download or forked the source code of Django or Flask or other simple framework and first understand and then making changes in that framework and customize that. What about this idea Sir?  @jani Tiainen

Hi.

Unfortunately your question is really too broad to answer but I'll give something to grasp on.

It all depends on features you want to build, time it takes to build those features and time you do have available.

You should split your planned tasks to about two week periods (longer periods are harder to estimate). Also you need a plan what you do if your estimates are wrong and you start fall behind.

Also note that there are tasks like testing and documenting which you need to allocate time. Also you might need to allocate time for research and learning things.
