I really enjoy Flask's simplicity (relative to Django) and light-weightness. It was the first web framework I used, actually. Armin Ronacher & team make quality products.

I've been looking at light-weight scripting-language frameworks, any experience with Catalyst? I'm a fan of Perl.

I actually started diving into Python a few months ago, and after a day or two into it I had already ported a feed aggregator from PHP to Python thanks to Flask: https://github.com/giu/hsr-twitterverse. I've also written a simple paste site using Flask without any headaches.

Its simplicity is just amazing, and it's really fun to work with.

How does Flask compare to Bottle (http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/index.html)? Any advantages/disadvantages?

Of particular interest are the generic or 'pluggable' class-based views. They work in a very similar manner to the ones that came with Django 1.3.

http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/views/

It's good timing; I was just getting to the stage in my app where I was noticing the need for some view refactoring.

Flask has more features, more and better documentation, a bigger community and ecosystem as well as more developers behind it.

Furthermore Bottle does magic that is frowned upon by some people.
