This topic guide is a word by word copy of Paul Boddie's [http://www.boddie.org.uk/python/web_frameworks.html Python Web Frameworks Overview]. Putting it into Wiki format hopefully allows more people to contribute.

The main purpose of this topic guide is to help in choosing a framework for web programming without having to learn each of them. In addition, information about different PresentationTechnologies is also provided, where appropriate, since this can be a major deciding factor in choosing a framework.

Although comments and clarifications by the framework authors are very much appreciated, adding a standard signature like InTheirOwnWords would help to bring words like 'easy' and 'intuitive' into context.

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.

Known frameworks:

• ["Zope"]

• WebWare

• SkunkWeb

• TwistedMatrix

• ["Quixote"]
• ["Albatross"]

• JonsPythonModules

• ["Spyce"]

• CherryPy

• ["maki"]

• ClearSilver

• ScriptFoundryModules

• ["Slither"]

• add new entries by using the code in the WebProgrammingTemplate

Is there any interest in a WebProgrammingShootOut?
