    Tornado Web Server
    Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library, originally developed at FriendFeed. By using non-blocking network I/O, Tornado can scale to tens of thousands of open connections, making it ideal for long polling, WebSockets, and other applications that require a long-lived connection to each user. Tornado is different from most Python web frameworks. It is not based on WSGI, and it is typically run with only one thread per process. While some support of WSGI is available in the tornado.wsgi module, it is not a focus of development and most applications should be written to use Tornado’s own interfaces (such as tornado.web) directly instead of using WSGI. In general, Tornado code is not thread-safe. Tornado is integrated with the standard library asyncio module and shares the same event loop (by default since Tornado 5.0). In general, libraries designed for use with asyncio can be mixed freely with Tornado.

    Giotto

    Giotto

    Giotto

    It is based on the concept of Model, View and Controllers. The framework is designed to enforce a clean style that results in code that is maintainable over a long period. Other popular web frameworks are built with a mindset of launching fast. This results in code that will deploy quickly, but falls under it’s own complexity after many iterations. An example of a controller process is Apache, or gunicorn. A manifest is given to the controller process when it is started. All incoming requests to the controller process will be routed to a program contained within the manifest. A manifest is just a collection of programs. A user makes a request to the controller process. This can be a web request, or a command line invocation, or any other action that is handled by a controller process.

    Growler

    Growler

    Growler

    Growler is a web framework built atop asyncio, the asynchronous library described in PEP 3156 and added to the standard library in python 3.4. It takes a cue from the Connect & Express frameworks in the nodejs ecosystem, using a single application object and series of middleware to process HTTP requests. The custom chain of middleware provides an easy way to implement complex applications. The pip utility allows packages to provide optional requirements, so features may be installed only upon request. This meshes well with the minimal nature of the Growler project: don't install anything the user doesn't need. That being said, there are (will be) community packages that are blessed by the growler developers (after ensuring they work as expected and are well tested with each version of growler) that will be available as extras directly from the growler package.

    CherryPy

    CherryPy

    CherryPy

    CherryPy allows developers to build web applications in much the same way they would build any other object-oriented Python program. This results in smaller source code developed in less time. CherryPy is now more than ten years old, and it has proven to be fast and reliable. It is being used in production by many sites, from the simplest to the most demanding. In order to make the most of CherryPy, you should start with the tutorials that will lead you through the most common aspects of the framework. Once done, you will probably want to browse through the basics and advanced sections that will demonstrate how to implement certain operations. Finally, you will want to carefully read the configuration and extend sections that go in-depth regarding the powerful features provided by the framework.

    Core ML

    Core ML

    Apple

    Core ML applies a machine learning algorithm to a set of training data to create a model. You use a model to make predictions based on new input data. Models can accomplish a wide variety of tasks that would be difficult or impractical to write in code. For example, you can train a model to categorize photos or detect specific objects within a photo directly from its pixels. After you create the model, integrate it in your app and deploy it on the user’s device. Your app uses Core ML APIs and user data to make predictions and to train or fine-tune the model. You can build and train a model with the Create ML app bundled with Xcode. Models trained using Create ML are in the Core ML model format and are ready to use in your app. Alternatively, you can use a wide variety of other machine learning libraries and then use Core ML Tools to convert the model into the Core ML format. Once a model is on a user’s device, you can use Core ML to retrain or fine-tune it on-device.
