Topics

Pylons is a lightweight web framework emphasizing flexibility and rapid development.

Pylons background

• 6 years old
• Still going to be maintained

Pylons is merging with repoze.bfg, resulting in Pyramid.

Pyramid

• Only 5000 (runtime) lines of code
• Have paster templates, that tie parts together with example settings
• Need a python install, has its own webserver
  • For high-traffic deployments, use apache in front
• Runs on lots of DBs through an Object Relational Mapper (ORM) like SqlAlchemy
• Runs on some non-relational DBs too
• Currently runs on Python 2.X
  • Recent WSGI standard created for Python 3, so starting to move there

Turbogears

• "Batteries Inclueded" stack, everything you need for a full up web stack
• A couple years ago, put turbogears on-top of pylons
• Moving turbogears inside pylons
• Continuing forward on pylons 1.x
  • Eventually something (different name?) on top of Pyramid
