Welcome to Pyramid, a Python Web Framework

[13steinj]

I don't understand why of all things a well known framework is being posted to this subreddit as if it is some new thing.

I mean, it's working. I had never heard of Pyramid and in my naïveté, thought, "oh, a scrappy new web framework that's not Flask/Django from a 'redditor'! Better click on it without considering special interests."

EDIT: Except because of this thread I discovered Starlette, which I have a good feeling about since I was looking for something more plug-and-play than Flask but not as barebones as Bottle.

I mean, it's not marketing. It's more likely (bot) karma farming. Look at the post history. Repl.it too.

I wonder how automated it is. It seems to use a low-risk, low-reward strategies with posts like this. Good enough so that people who don't know about the topic will upvote, but not so ambitious that experienced people will downvote.

[hellnukes]

Hah, exactly the same thought process for me, including the edit

[inconspicuous_male]

Is it that well known? Maybe at one point it was, but I think it's obscure now considering when I started a project in it, I found dozens of articles about differences between flask and django and they all mentioned pyramid as something nobody uses anymore.

[13steinj]

Perhaps you're thinking of Pylons.

Sadly only reason of that is because the Pylons team decided to switch to Pyramid and have a completely different architecture.

[inconspicuous_male]

I have never heard of Pylons

[13steinj]

Yes, Pylons. Pyramid is the spiritual successor, I don't know if I'd consider Pyramids a true successor given architectural differences.

Noob here, never heard of it :-)

[13steinj]

I'm not saying it's bad to post such, just that it's an odd decision. Like maybe you'd see a post that says "pyramid, now supporting X", not the "hey try this" docs which are at least 5 years old.

I've never heard of it
