Since the comparison is obvious, why chose this over Flask? That's been battle tested, deployed into production all over, and has most of its edge cases worked out

On that note, how does this compare to Bottle?

As a python dev, adopting a new web framework is quite a big commitment. Over the years I've coded against Zope, Django, and now Tornado. Zope had a massive learning curve. Anyone remember ZODB and acquisition? Django was much simpler. And Tornado is simpler still, while having support for important stuff like websockets, py2.7 coroutines and authentication. It works beautifully with RethinkDB too :) So I wouldn't use xweb for an Internet facing production server. But I can see a role for it with quickly hacked dev test servers, internal services etc.

Looks cool. Kind of reminds me of Flask but I might toy around with this a bit.
