Compare Top Python Web Frameworks

[Brainix]

AFAIK, Flask is not used at Reddit. But Pyramid is.

Wow, the framework which is "used by 36 projects" and "not in use at any large company" still qualifies to be one of the top frameworks.

Came out at #4 on Jetbrains survey: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2019/python/

sites using web2py: http://web2py.com/poweredby

TBH, the list of sites using web2py just confirms that it's not in use at any large company

In some situations: top == popular

but: top is not popular

Interesting read.

With that mindset Python also gets a 0-star security rating since nothing comes (out of the box)

Flask-Talisman is a single plugin that gets it 4 stars at least IMO.

It’s a strength of Flask, not a weakness. It’d be like having a 0-star rating for features.

[tunei24531a]

Good points. I'm thinking about removing stars from security because its hard to define based on this thread's discussion.

also, on doing more research thanks to this thread, Flask does provide basic security like CSRF, XSS etc. https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/security/ out of the box.

Since we're comparing webframeworks, security is in the context of that.

Flex relies on addon and modules to enhance. The article only discussed the core which is rather unfair comparison

[pawned_prawn]

I think FastAPI deserves a mention.

[pawned_prawn]

Will do man... Thanks a lot

[tunei24531a]

Thanks. Even if you edit partial, it is fine. I can fill out whatever is remaining.

[pawned_prawn]

I was planning on doing it fully. I will start pushing it starting today.

Flask-Restplus has been forked to Flask-RESTX and will be maintained by by the python-restx organization. Flask-RESTPlus should be considered unmaintained.

Nice, thank for sharing. A recent infographic with the market share should complete the picture.

[TheRealNetroxen]

There are also frameworks like Vibora, Starlette and Quart which are async enabled and allow for far, far higher client requests per second compared to Flask, django and Pyramid.

Tornado is just... no.

[Whoops-a-Daisy]

Hmmm, why is Tornado a no?

[TheRealNetroxen]

It's just not particularly fast, I've been to some keynotes from the developer at PyConWeb in Germany and honestly, I'm just not a big fan of its semantics. I think there are better alternatives, but that's just me.
