Some frameworks for web development
1.Django
Django is an open-source Web application framework, written in Python, that supports many database engines, makes web development fast and extensible, and keeps the version updated to match the latest version of Python, starting with this framework if you're a novice programmer.
2.Flask
Flask is a lightweight web application framework that is written using Python. Based on the Werkzeugwsgi Toolbox and the Jinja2 template engine. Use BSD licensing.
Flask is also known as "microframework" because it uses a simple core and adds other features with extension. Flask does not have the default database, form validation tools used. However, Flask retains the elasticity of amplification, which can be added with flask-extension: ORM, form validation tools, file uploads, various open authentication technologies.
3.web2py
Web2py is a free open source web framework written in Python that is designed to be agile and fast to develop Web applications with fast, scalable, secure, and portable database-driven applications that follow the LGPLv3 Open source protocol.
WEB2PY provides a one-stop solution, the entire development process can be done in the browser, providing web version of online development, HTML template authoring, static file upload, database writing functions. Other features include logging and an automated admin interface.
4.Tornado
Tornado is a Web server (not detailed in this article), At the same time is a class web.py micro-framework, as the framework of the idea of tornado mainly from the web.py, everyone in the web.py website home can also see Tornado of the Big guy Bret Taylor's passage (which he says here FriendFeed with Tornado can be seen as a thing):
"[web.py inspired the] web framework we use for FriendFeed [and] the WebApp framework that ships with APP Engine ..."
5.CherryPy
CherryPy is a simple and useful web framework for Python, whose main purpose is to connect Web servers to Python code in as few operations as possible, including built-in analytics, a flexible plug-in system, and the ability to run multiple HTTP servers at once. Can be run on the latest version of Python, Jython, Android.
