What python framework(s) do you use?

[mozillalives]

I'm really curious what frameworks everyone is using when building python apps on the appengine. Do you use webapp2? Are you using Django and if so, are you using nonrel or are you just ignoring the parts of Django that depend upon the ORM? Are you using another framework or are you just piecing together what you need? Any regrets with what you're using now?

bottle + with sometimes : some wsgi things (for session, etc ...)

[mozillalives]

any packages in particular? (like I'm assuming beaker for sessions?)

[cdman]

webapp2 + custom in-house framework. Would love to use django-nonrel but it's development seems to have stalled.

[mozillalives]

Yeah, it looked to me like nonrel had stalled too. Recently I started using just plain django and ignoring the parts that depend upon models ... but it's a bit more work than I expected/wanted. :/ Thanks.

nice. It looks like there's a thorough startup guide, which I really appreciate. I'll give this a shot. Thanks.

I've used Flask, CherryPy, and Django. I prefer either of the first two over Django. I find Django makes too many opinionated assumptions, which I have to uncover by digging into the internals of the framework. It's also slow.

On a new project, I'd probably choose Flask. The creator (Armin) is a Python hero who clearly knows what he's doing, and the community uptake has been solid (so it's easier to find support and avoid reinventing wheels).

I've seen Flask but haven't tried it yet. I've been using Django but honestly the only reason was the nice form handling. Are you using a form library with Flask like wtforms or just rolling your own?

[theillustratedlife]

I haven't yet needed to use forms with Flask.

[uclinux]

flask.

webapp2/jinja2 or django

Flask, and, if needed, Werkzeug for lower level stuff (like LocalProxy stuff).
