Developers that need a minimalist Python web framework solution to build web applications

About 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.

Sinatra
Sinatra
Sinatra includes a number of built-in settings that control whether certain features are enabled. Settings are application-level variables that are modified using one of the set, enable, or disable methods and are available within the request context via the settings object. Applications are free to set custom settings as well as the default, built-in settings provided by the framework. In its simplest form, the set method takes a setting name and value and creates an attribute on the application. Extensions provide helper or class methods for Sinatra applications. These methods are customarily listed and described on extensions home pages. Using an extension is usually as simple as installing a gem or library and requiring a file.

hug
hug
Drastically simplify API development over multiple interfaces. With hug, design and develop your API once, then expose it however your clients need to consume it. Be it locally, over HTTP, or through the command line - hug is the fastest and most modern way to create APIs on Python3. hug has been built from the ground up with performance in mind. It is built to consume resources only when necessary and is then compiled with Cython to achieve amazing performance. As a result, hug consistently benchmarks as one of the fastest Python frameworks and without question takes the crown as the fastest high-level framework for Python 3. hug makes it easy to expose multiple versions of your API. With hug you can simply specify what version or range of versions an endpoint supports and then automatically have that enforced and communicated to your API's users.
