Pylons

Pylons is a database-driven web framework written in Python.  It is intended to be a flexible and easy to use framework by combining some of the best ideas from Ruby, Python and Perl.

Pylons owes a lot if its philosophy to Ruby on Rails which led to direct ports of Routes and AJAX Helpers from Rails into Python.  It is built using Myghty, Routes and Paste as its foundation.  The user base is growing rapidly and gaining traction with other frameworks in the Python community. TurboGears recently announced that they would build the next version of their framework on top of Pylons.

Pylons gives its developers the ability to easily extend its functionality.  Many extensions have been developed to give Pylons such features as internationalization and authorization facilities.  The use of WSGI (Web Server Gateway Interface) in Pylons gives it the ability to integrate with other frameworks such as TurboGears or Django easily.

Pylons is used by:

  • BitTorrent
  • freebase
  • And many more...
