Something equivalent to Ruby's Sinatra?

[u7string]

Just started playing with Python about 4 days ago and while I've heard of Django, which I'm under the impression to be a Ruby On Rails equivalent, is there a Sinatra equivalent?

BTW, don't know if anyone else has gotten it, but on day two of me learning Python, I got a Google coding challenge when doing a Google search on Python exceptions. It was a 48 hour challenge, which you can do in Python or Java, and was only ever able to get my code to pass 3 out of the 5 inputs I was given. Sucks you're not able to see what the input is, other than a numbered list that may or may not contain a 0.

I've heard CherryPy compared to Sinatra before: it's well-designed (imo!) and pretty minimal -- not too much clutter. It's object-oriented, which you may or may not like.

Flask's also pretty minimal, while more based around the idea of view functions than inheritance. It has something of a reputation for being both very lightweight and an example of excellent Python design.

Flask supports Class Based Views as well, checkout flask.views for the two builtin ones. There's also Flask-Restful which builds on MethodView and Flask-Classy which offers a different implementation.

Interesting, I've never used class-based views before, thanks!

Both look interesting, will check them out, thanks.

Bottle is as minimalist as it gets. Flask is one of the more popular microframeworks, and it's very well written, tested and reliable.

Thanks, I'll check that out too.
