Framework vs Github followers
Tornado 4,551
Flask 4,019
Bottle 1,381
Pyramid 876
EDIT: Just adding some figures to the debate.
- mdellavo 14y agoThis is meaningless. Pyramid is a newer framework (newest of those listed?)
- mercurial 14y agoYes and no. Yes, because popularity of a given technology is usually related to the size of its ecosystem/number of tutorials. No, because we are talking about micro-framework, which architecturally use a bunch of loosely-coupled Python components, so having "plugins" is less important than for other frameworks for many use cases.
- ergo14 14y agophp has more users than python -> clearly it must be better language argument? I'd rather compare by design decisions than meaningless numbers.
- sontek 14y agoI've been a Pyramid user for over a year now, I'm active on IRC and the mailing lists, I do not "follow" pyramid on github. Statistics like this are silly because they rely on people actually wanting to use GitHub and I don't feel the Pyramid community of developers really cares that much for it outside of being a host of the repository.
- sontek 14y agoI went and "starred" and "watched" Pyramid so that it could join the cool club, not really sure what either feature does though.
- jerryji 14y agoHow about comparing the number of real-life web applications (i.e., not counting final year projects) in each framework, or the number of users each of them serves? BTW, I've been a long time Pyramid user (since the Pylons days) and can't be happier with my choice.
