The Best Python Framework for You
Uncategorised • 21st Jul, 15
If you’re looking at which Python framework to choose you’ll be faced with three options: Django, Pyramid, and Flask. With Django having a ‘batteries included’ feature, it’s often the one which most programmers find themselves leaning towards. With forms, templating, routing, authentication, basic database administration and so much more, there’s no going wrong when it comes to Django. Although Pyramid was released a year before Django, it requires external libraries when it comes to database administration. Flask, which is the youngest Python framework to be released, is primarily used for the simpler applications.
Django is for…
- developers who are aiming to include all features which a web application will need
- Developers who find it necessary to make use of templating, ORM, routing, authentication, bootstrapping, and database administration on the go
Pyramid is for…
- Developers who are working on large applications (eg. CMS)
- Developers are busy with API projects
- The cases where prototyping is a concept
Flask is for…
- Developers who are in need of a standalone app
- Developers who value best practices
- Developers who are required to prototype something quickly
Being the most popular Python framework, Django is used by sites including Instagram, Bit bucket and Pinterest. Extremely useful, it comes with not only a great admin interface, but can support JSON/XML like responses with ease. Django also has impressively good features and relies mostly on ORM. What makes this even better is that even for those who are just starting off and do not have much experience in web development, it will be simple to both learn and use. Having less code, developers are able to produce web applications much more easily.
