Aren't Flask and CherryPy very similar, in that they're minimalist 'micro' web frameworks with very little scaffolding? You kinda make it sound like Flask is some passing fad. It's been out for over six years now... Anyhoo thanks for the link. I'll be checking out CherryPy at some point as I much prefer minimalist frameworks.

I hardly would call Flask a fad. That was not my intent. I was saying everyone talks about Flask. I rarely see, in my perusal of the tubes, mention of CherryPy anymore. I was actually listening to Chris McDonough, original developer of Pyramids/Pylons, talk with the host about the "frenemy" that is Flask. I myself forgot how many of the micro frameworks in Python (Pyramids, bottle, Flask, CherryPy, others I forget) really are in the same general age group. https://talkpython.fm/episodes/transcript/3/pyramid-web-framework https://talkpython.fm/episodes/transcript/3/pyramid-web-fram... Mea culpa.
