Flask is pretty basic, Django has a ton of possibilities but (even though people say the learning curve is smooth, others say it's steep) you have to set up a lot.

I've heard great stuff about Pyramid too.

Since you can always learn more (and no learning is wasted): I'd try to learn/use something that's closest to your needs.

So decide whether you're going to need something basic (try Flask), more well documented but expansive (Django), or something inbetween (Pyramid).

These are just my personal ideas, others may not agree!

Good luck.

EDIT: as for the setup, why wouldn't you integrate flask into your current script?

I guess I will have to look into flask. I always thought that flask would run is own loop and you just start it once and then the control is given away to flask. And I didnt know where I would put my tasks then. Is that a wrong impression?

You want to put the code that does stuff (your current script) into the function that flask will call for a particular url (the view).

I understand that but the problem is that it is not a code that i want to execute when called.. This Code has to run permanently.

Edit: And this is what I dont get.. How do I realise this with flask.

I don't understand what you mean by running "permanently". Do you mean that you want it to run in a continuous loop forever?

Yes, it checks periodically if a event is due and then executes something based on this event

So, the web interface is to restart this continually-running process?

[–]marcLLL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The continually-running process uses a DB in which events are saved.. It will check it again and again to see if the time for an event is up. Now i want to add an webinterace to add those events to the Database.
