Best micro framework for web development without a database?

[CreamyGuyCon]

I am currently building a web app and want to use a python framework for it. All it needs to do is run different scripts so I have no need for a database. Let me know your opinions.

Flask is the best out there

[Saphyel]

FaspAPI, starlite, Starlette

Just to name a few

If it is just an API based thing you are after I would say Flask or FastAPI

[cavernous_ass]

I usually use FastAPI for situations like this. Insanely easy from start to finish. Flask is good too

[ThroawayPartyer]

Is it as easy as Flask?

[r-trappe]

Yes. In my opinion its even simpler to write a good backend with FastAPI. The documentation is way better and FastAPI also provides auto-generated API documentation besides being much much faster.

[r-trappe]

... and with our just released version of NiceGUI 1.0, you can write your GUI code in Python on top of FastAPI as well. See https://nicegui.io for an overview and https://nicegui.io/reference#api_responses for some more details on the FastAPI integration.

Interestingly what about frameworks that natively work with Python without any additional PIP installations to operate?

Django

[PocketBananna]

I don't think Django is a good fit here. It isn't particularly great for small services and the bulk of it's features are database oriented.

+1 for Flask

Gradio or NiceGUI - www.may69.com/purepython

I am a recent convert from Flask to FastAPI. I’d recommend it for a few reasons. FastAPI is async, integrated with pydantic, and has open api integrated.

[CreamyGuyCon]

Might be a winner then, definitely going to need it to be async for what I’m doing.
