This is a great resource, and there are some neat inclusions like Falcon, but I find the main trouble when building python web apps is deployment. I always feel like I've duct-taped my carefully written app to the web-server.

Where have you deployed? I'm looking to switch for my Django website. I'd like something full-serve like Heroku, but Heroku doesn't work well with sqlite.

Are any of these extremely good compared to a framework not written in Python? For example compared to Rails or Phoenix?

I'm a huge Django fan so Rails has always felt too magical for my taste. Few projects feel more rewarding than writing a Django website, imho.

Same can be said for any system, regardless of the language.

Unless you’re able to create an artifact like a single executable or a Jar but you still need to supervise those and keep them running.

I'm mostly fine with Amazon EC2 with uwsgi in emperor mode / nginx / psql

I have a Flask app deployed on PythonAnywhere that's using sqlite. Not nearly as streamlined as Heroku, but I'm happy with it.

Say what you want to about PHP, but when it comes to deployment it’s hard to beat.

Yah, I come from a PHP background which is probably why I feel this way about Python... Ruby is likely a similar story since Gunicorn is a fork of Unicorn
