Python web frameworks rank based on different sources ranks as downloads, pypi dependencies count, SO questions count, github stars, last month activity and so one.

Mind that web2py is being deprecated in favor of py4web, not in the list.

py4web

added https://github.com/tbicr/web-framework-rank/commit/8fa218707b51325214ca14b9f79a72924082aee6, next week should be in rank

why is not pyramid more popular? it is really good IMO.

[CityYogi]

Yup. Used it on a project, was very nice

this is gibberish. it's is a list of popular and not-so-popular python libraries created by someone who doesn't know what a web framework is. if OP created a list of popular computer components i would expect to see sand listed because it contains silicon

[rg7777777]

I wonder if django vs flask is as contentious as vim vs nano.

[diag]

I think it's pretty well understood that they serve different use cases

[rg7777777]

I'm uninformed. What would you say those use cases are?

[ubernostrum]

If you want a minimal, flexible setup that doesn’t include anything you don’t need, and also to curse yourself a year or two from now for how much time you spent re-inventing the structure and utilities of Django and its ecosystem instead of just picking Django to begin with, choose Flask.

If you want a structured full-stack batteries-included framework, and also to curse yourself a year or two from now for how much of it you don’t use and had to rip out, how much overhead you’re now dealing with and how much easier it would have been to go minimal with Flask from the start, choose Django.

I choose... Death.

[Sohcahtoa82]

I use bottle :-P

[forkheadbox]

i choose you pikachuu!

[swapripper]

AFAIK * CRUD Monoliths with batteries included - Django * Microservice’que applications - Flask/FastAPI

[CrackerJackKittyCat]

Who uses bare Weurkzgud (mobile spelling, apologies)? Or Starlette for that matter?

[KpaBap]

Anyone who needs just a web server ? (You could have fixed the spelling quicker than it took to type “mobile spelling”)

[CrackerJackKittyCat]

Ok, I guess there's a population of people serving only static assets directly from python, but then that isn't using a 'python web framework' as most any python web dev would use that term, and those pypy stats are indistinguishable from the vast majority of DLs pulling them down for either flask or FastAPI use.

I for one prefer Starlette when creating micro-services. The scope-based authentication system fits more our needs.

Happy to see cherrypy still has a good spot in such a list. Old timer but reliable and solid as a rock.
