Pylons

Pylons combines the very best ideas from the worlds of Ruby, Python and Perl, providing a structured but extremely flexible Python web framework.

Created to reduce development time, this framework will automatize many tasks usually found in Python web projects.

The Pylons project is the base tool, from which of a more advanced web framework evolved. That framework is Pyramid.

Features:

• A framework to make writing web applications in Python easy
• Utilizes a minimalist, component-based philosophy that makes it easy to expand on
• Harness existing knowledge about Python
