Python Web Frameworks

[Brian Borncamp]

Can anybody personally recommend a python web framework that emphasizes convention over configuration and has an ORM? I've used django a bit in the past. However, after doing a little bit with rails I've come to realize how much unnecessary baggage comes with Django (urlconf's, defining template dir's, imports on every model/view file, etc.). However, I will say I do like Django's ORM setup, it's model views, and templating system. The main thing that bothers me is how much unnecessary configuration there is. Does anybody have any personal recommendations for rapid web development in python in this regard?

I love flask for rapid prototyping and in general. You can include whatever you need and it comes with like no baggage. For orm you can use sqlalchemy too.

I should have linked but I'm on my phone: flask.pocoo.org. The site has a great quick start guide and other documentation. Any questions feel free to email.

Hey, any thoughts on web.py? or think that's too far from a full framework?

I personally feel like web.py is more outdated than Flask but similar in distance from a full framework. I first started writing for the web using web.py, but then Flaks came into my life. I mean there's also others like CherryPy and bottle.py which are just as lightweight and include-what-you-need frameworks.
