This topic guide is a word by word copy of PaulBoddie's [https://www.boddie.org.uk/python/web_frameworks.html Python Web Frameworks Overview]. Putting it into Wiki format hopefully allows more people to contribute.
The main purpose of this topic guide is to help in choosing between the plethora of frameworks and templating systems for web programming, without having to learn each of them. In addition, information about different PresentationTechnologies is also provided, where appropriate, since this can be a major deciding factor in choosing a framework.
Opinions based on experience are welcome, but framework or templating system authors should sign their comments with InTheirOwnWords to admit to a certain bias.
The rather strict format of the main entries (described in WebProgrammingTemplateHelp) should not been seen as a limit. Feel free to add new pages containing examples, direct comparisons etc.
What is missing:
- direct comparisons by example between the various template libraries
- development turnaround: must the server be restarted and how long does this take?
- debugging support
multi protocol servers like ["Zope"] and TwistedMatrix aren't really discussed yet
Known frameworks:
- ["Albatross"]
- ["Castalian"]
- ["Crusader"]
[https://pysol.sourceforge.net/ HP Python Business Libraries]
- ["maki"]
ModPython (Someone please document it!)
- ["MSS"]
- ["Quixote"]
- ["Slither"]
- ["Spyce"]
- ["Wasp"]
- ["Zope"]
When adding new entries choose WebProgrammingTemplate when creating the page.
(Shouldn't PHP and Java servlets be mentioned in the same format as quite a few will want to compare to them anyway?)
Is there any interest in a WebProgrammingShootOut?
Editor: DanielDittmar (this means only that I will adapt the entries to changes in the WebProgrammingTemplate and that I will try to keep the version entries current)
