#13Werkzeug - the anti-framework. It is more like a library and that's good as it allows you do things the way you like... http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/
Werkzeug is fantastic. We used it with jinja2[1], SQLAlchemy[2], and flatland[3] with great success.

#15The reason that there are so many frameworks is that writing one used to be a rite of passage for Python programmers. It was so easy to write your own.
FWIW Guido settled on Django. I dont know if he has changed his mind since.

At work we use Django and somewhat happy with it. In past I used to use web.py and I liked it.

#18http://webpy.org/ import web urls = ( '/(.*)', 'hello' ) app = web.application(urls, globals()) class hello: def GET(self, name): if not name: name = 'world' return 'Hello, ' + name + '!' if __name__ == "__main__": app.run()
It's great for writing small one-offs (the sort of thing you might use PHP for) and web interfaces for non-web applications. But for large projects it's really not suitable.

#19Web.py is great for small projects.
web2py is the new up-and-comer.
zope is the grey-bearded veteran that nobody uses anymore.
twisted is more of a networking framework but people sometimes use it for web apps.

I started diving into Django a few months ago for a side project, and haven't looked back. I know a ton of Django programmers in the area, and there's a great community for Django devs online.
