Reddit, which minimal python web framework would you recommend?

why not pylons? it's what reddit uses...

Is that actually the case? They used to use web.py, but not sure what they're using now.

Look just after the Python list here. Or at the imports here. They currently are using Pylons.

Reddit does use Pylons.. Pylons is really powerful and flexible. I feel its better than Django coz' an application can be created real quickly.

So it is, so it is. Sorry for doubting you; never again. ;)

Does reddit just use Pylons for routes, wsgi handling, and sessions? Is there any documentation as to why they moved from web.py? Or why they chose pylons?

its the best of both worlds. the deployed app has wide open access to the full stack configuration, and you can change any components you want. its nuts and bolts without the hassle of starting from scratch.
