I agree that Python works well for just about everything but wish there was a framework between Django & Flask.

- denisw 9y agoThe most popular framework that fits this description might be Pyramid [1]. [1]: https://trypyramid.com/ https://trypyramid.com/
- joaodlf 9y agoAgreed! I lean much more towards Flask (I'd rather have too much simplicity than too much complexity), but something in the middle would be fantastic. A simple application structure with loose enough rules and a strong standard library is what I would like. Flask can be too little, Django can be too big.
- dagw 9y agoHave you looked at: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/ http://www.django-rest-framework.org/ and the Lightweight Django book: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032502.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032502.do
- Walkman 9y agoPyramid is exactly that.
- abledon 9y agoUse Django and strip out the middleware and admin/authentication addons. see https://github.com/lightweightdjango https://github.com/lightweightdjango
- pbreit 9y agoauth is a must-have (i've never written an app that did not need basic auth) and admin is a very, very nice to have. It still feels "thick" to me in other areas.
- hurtmyknee 9y agoI like to keep things modular, if you're looking for API development Falcon is a lightweight DIY solution (https://falconframework.org/ https://falconframework.org/).
