Beyond Django: Four other web frameworks

Note: I know this event conflicts with a Django Boston event, we are so sorry! We're working to make sure this doesn't happen again...

Django is the most popular Python web framework, but there are lots of other choices.  Tonight, four members will present overviews of some other options:

  • David Baumgold: Flask
  • Jason Michalski: Pyramid
  • David Sturgis: twisted.web and Klein
  • Ricardo Newbery: Zope and Plone

We'll follow up with a free-ranging Q&A session about web frameworks in general, or whatever else comes to mind!

Pizza is sponsored by Nuance.

    Probably not a reason to exclude a framework as an option, but interesting to see how simple/complicated the code is under the hood!

      Great presentation! I have been using Python for a while for scripting (building glue utilities, network programming etc.) I was exploring Django to build a REST API layer for a product I have been working on. Your presentation was very useful and timely for me to consider Flask as a serious contender.

      Hardik: Flask is *excellent* for small glue utilities and REST APIs. For more about that, you should check out this presentation by Kenneth Reitz: https://speakerdeck.co...
