This topic guide links to the frameworks and templating systems available for Web programming in Python.

To Do

  • The templating systems should really get a different page layout, showing examples etc.
  • Describe PHP and Java in the same format as quite a few will want to compare to them anyway

  • Is there any interest in a WebProgrammingShootOut?

Editor: DanielDittmar (this means only that I will adapt the entries to changes in the WebProgrammingTemplate and that I will try to keep the version entries current)

Python-based

Standardisation and Standardisation Proposals

Application Frameworks

Variable Insertion-Replacement Templating Applications (Pre-processors)

There are many, many different HTML templating libraries for Python that provide different feature sets and syntaxes. These libraries assume that you know how to write HTML, and can figure out how to repeat chunks of HTML in order to produce the

The number of libraries is so great because such libraries are pretty easy to write in Python; [http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/52305 this recipe from the Python Cookbook] shows how easy it is.

Server-embedded Python

Web-based XML processing engines

  • ["4Suite"]
  • ["maki"]

HTML Shorthand Processors

The libraries in this section implement simpler markup languages that can be automatically converted to HTML. This lets you avoid having to write HTML by hand.

Jython-accessible Java toolkits

Servlet-like Engines

Variable Insertion-Replacement Templating Applications (Pre-processors)

Python-accessible C toolkits

The Web Framework Shootout at http://colorstudy.com/docs/shootout.html also covers several of these frameworks.

This topic guide started out as a word by word copy of PaulBoddie's [http://www.boddie.org.uk/python/web_frameworks.html Python Web Frameworks Overview].

OriginalWebProgrammingClassification is an older listing of Python-related web tools, and is now out of date and only of historical interest.

Notes on Editing

Opinions based on experience are welcome, but framework or templating system authors should sign their comments with InTheirOwnWords to admit to a certain bias.

The rather strict format of the main entries (described in WebProgrammingTemplateHelp) should not been seen as a limit. Feel free to add new pages containing examples, direct comparisons etc.

When adding new entries choose WebProgrammingTemplate when creating the page.

Discussion

Wait- I don't understand-

Why were BaseHttpServer, DocXmlRpcServer, CgiScripts taken out?

I'd think that on a page on WebProgramming, those things would be listed.

Other things:

  • The reorganisation is presumably to help people find the right framework - things like simple CGI-based APIs might not be cutting edge stuff, but they're potentially very useful if you don't have a "full" hosting account.
  • I didn't really agree with some aspects of the revised classifications. I think the template systems need their own page, and the multiple classifications really need banishing to another page where they'll confuse only the experts.
