Flask

Flask is a microframework for Python. It’s a simple and powerful way to build web applications. Companies like Pinterest, Spotify, and The Washington Post use it.

Flask is an open-source web application framework written in Python that supports many web development features like authentication, sessions, and forms, etc., allowing you to write your code once then use it in different NodeJS-based applications or even other languages such as PHP, Java, etc.

Features:

• The flask is adaptable.
• The framework plans to keep the core simple but extensible.
• It includes many snares to customize its behavior.

Django

A high-level Python web framework called Django promotes quick development and simple, practical design. It encourages automating as much as possible while adhering to the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle. Django’s main goal is to make it easy for developers to build their websites quickly. It does this by providing you with tools like:

• Template allows you to create dynamic templates from your content management system’s data in an elegant way
• Model classes for storing information about users, posts, comments, and more

Features:

• GeoDjango is an ORM that allows you to manage your data easily.
• It has a wide range of features, such as URL routing and templates, the ability to run and apply migrations automatically, a skeleton for automatically generating the admin panel, etc.
• GeoDjango also includes security features such as XSS prevention and CRSF prevention.
• It supports geographic data through GeoDjango concepts.
• The library has overloaded ready-to-use libraries, saving you time while developing your application.

CherryPy

CherryPy is a Pythonic, object-oriented HTTP framework. It’s easy to learn and use, yet highly flexible and powerful. CherryPy makes it easy for you to write web applications quickly by providing the tools you need in an integrated package:

• A high-performance HTTP server is written in C (CherryPy)
• Modules for writing RESTful APIs using Jinja2 templates or SQLAlchemy ORM/DAO layers (CherryPy)
• A fully-featured templating system that supports both Jinja2 syntax as well as Twig syntaxes

Features:

• Robust configuration systems for developers and deployers alike.
• Built-in profiling, inclusion, and testing support.
• Built-in tools for caching, encoding, meeting, authentication, static content, etc.
• Reliable, HTTP/1.1-compliant, WSGI thread-pooled webserver.
• Adaptable plugin system.

TurboGears

TurboGears is a Python web framework that provides an integrated development environment for rapid application development. Jason Naylor created the framework to replace his previous web applications built on the Zope 2.0 object-oriented application server.

Features:

• TurboGears is designed to be a web application framework suitable for solving complex industrial-strength problems.
• A transaction manager is included in TurboGears to assist with multi-database deployments.
• TurboGears officially supports MongoDB as one of the primary storage backends.
• TurboGears provides support for multiple template engines.

Web2Py

Web2Py is an agile, full-stack Python framework for developing secure web applications. It provides the necessary tools to build scalable, reliable, secure web applications.

Features:

• Web2Py guides a web developer to follow good software engineering practices, such as using the Model View Controller (MVC) pattern.
• It automatically addresses issues that can lead to security vulnerabilities by following well-established practices.
• Web2Py framework includes a Database Abstraction Layer (DAL) that writes SQL dynamically.

Pyramid

Pyramid is a Python web application framework. It is a Pylons Project and is part of the Pylons Project family.

Features:

• This extension introduces support for Python 3.9 and 3.8.
• It improves runtime performance and adds new security APIs to support a massive overhaul of the authentication and authorization system.

Bottle

The bottle is a fast and simple micro-framework for Python web applications. It is built on the Werkzeug WSGI utility library and Jinja2 templating engine. The bottle works as a thin wrapper around WSGI to make it simple to build web applications in Python that can be deployed on any existing server or application server environment (e.g., Apache).

Features:

• A bottle runs with Python 2.7 and 3.6+.
• It has a fast and Pythonic *built-in layout engine* and support for mako, jinja2, and cheetah layouts.
• The framework has convenient access to form data, headers, cookies, file uploads, and other HTTP-related metadata.
• Built-in HTTP development server and support for Bjoern, Google Application Engine, fapws3, cherryPy, or any other WSGI-capable HTTP server.

Falcon

Falcon provides the best balance of speed and performance for your Python application. It has CPython 3.5+ and PyPy 3.5+ support, making it ideal for scaling your app to large numbers of users at high speeds.

Features:

• Falcon includes a highly optimized and extensible codebase.
• Falcon easily accesses headers and bodies through the request and response objects.
• Falcon framework provides DRY request processing via middleware components and hooks.

Quixote

Quixote is a Python framework for building web applications. It is based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern and provides a lightweight alternative to Django and TurboGears. Quixote uses the Django Template system, which allows you to write views in Python or JavaScript using Jinja2 syntax.

Features:

• Adaptability and high performance.
• Quixote includes Python Layout Language for producing HTML with Python code.

CubicWeb

CubicWeb is a Python-based framework for building semantic web applications. It is built on the Zope Application Server and includes an object-relational mapping (ORM) that lets you write SQL queries with Python rather than manually constructing them. The framework also has web application capabilities such as user authentication and session management, reports generation, single sign-on support, data encryption, and more. In addition to its powerful API, CubicWeb is lightweight: it only requires about 5 MB of memory to run your application in production mode.

Features:

• It has a query language named RQL, like W3C’s SPARQL.
• It includes a library of reusable parts that fulfill common needs.
