I really enjoy Flask's simplicity (relative to Django) and light-weightness. It was the first web framework I used, actually. Armin Ronacher & team make quality

I've been looking at light-weight scripting-language frameworks, any experience with Catalyst? I'm a fan of Perl.

  No, sorry.

  Catalyst is not light weight. You would need to look at Dancer or Mojolicious for Perl equivalents.

  Catalyst is a full blown MVC web framework. For light-weight (micro) web frameworks in Perl have a look at: * Dancer (http://perldancer.org/ http://perldancer.org/) * Mojolicious::Lite (http://mojolicio.us/ http://mojolicio.us/) * Squatting (http://p3rl.org/Squatting http://p3rl.org/Squatting) * Web::Simple (http://p3rl.org/Web::Simple http://p3rl.org/Web::Simple)

    Great, thanks for the suggestions

      Thats OK. PS. Here is a presentation doing a loose comparison between Dancer & Flask called "Dancer for Python programmers" (http://www.slideshare.net/xSawyer/perl-dancer-for-python-programmers http://www.slideshare.net/xSawyer/perl-dancer-for-python-pro...)

I actually started diving into Python a few months ago, and after a day or two into it I had already ported a feed aggregator from PHP to Python thanks to Flask: https://github.com/giu/hsr-twitterverse https://github.com/giu/hsr-twitterverse. I've also written a simple paste site using Flask without any headaches. Its simplicity is just amazing, and it's really fun to work with.

The debugger is badass. I built a few simple sites with Flask year and it was the thing I wished most I could have in Rails.

  Can't help you with Rails, but in case you or anyone else didn't know the Django-Extensions app adds the Flask (Werkzeug) debugger to Django projects with the run_plus command.
