Just discovered it the other day and watched a tutorial. Seems pretty cool. Web development in python.

Anyone ever use this before?

It's my coworker's favorite Web framework. I used it a little bit to support his app since I know some python.

yes, but flask is better

Flask just seemed a lot more straightforward to me. There was no "magic", just a small API to learn. Further, while I intended to implement an MVC architecture, Pylons seemed to enforce that as a design decision from the start.

lask is the future.

I would go with Flask because it is:

I would recommend that you start with Flask. With Flask, you will explicitly write your own route functions, make your routes render templates, etc.

But after some time, I found Flask. And now I'm working with it. Why? Because sometimes I just like to build and create things by myself, I want to learn and know how things are working.





the main differences with the 3 major frameworks are:
are you a shit programmer, do you have no creativity, do you hate doing stuff yourself but like saying you did all of it?
use django or pyramid


do you actually enjoy programming and are proud of yourself for your creations?
use flask

this
use flask, if you want to work overtime regularly and build and create even simple things by yourself (but you can be proud of it later!)
use django, if you want to save your time for better things than making shitty websites

Just gotta go http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ if you're doing database stuff with flask, really

idk any reason why I'd use django for any project. literally any area where django > flask it's PHP who is the answer, not django. :rofl:

heh well I've used Django for like maybe 3 hours, and didn't like it; and I've never used flask so my opinion on the matter isn't worth shit :P

PHP still does too much stuff better than other languages in web world, and php's new version 7 is just too good of an upgrade.

python isn't worth using for web unless it's to control something where majority of the code (that does stuff) is not web related (like controlling a robot or probes for.. anything and they have a simple web interface that all that information prints to)
and in a case like above, flask is much better. django tries to make python for web specifically and that's cool, but languages have strengths & weaknesses.. I laugh at django as much as I laugh at that operating system someone made with PHP............
