[CentralOH] CherryPy, Flask, or Django

[Thomas Winningham]

I spend a lot of time with experiments or prototypes, and in that regard I
enjoy Flask quite a bit. It is rather quick to go from "some random
function that does something" to the same but on a web page. These things
don't stick around very long, although I have deployed Flask on GAE a
couple of times. I'm not entirely sure what I do couldn't be done with any
other WSGI system, but for a quick turn around, Flask does it for me. I
don't do much traditional form / database type stuff either, but I can see
where Flask might leave you wanting more in that regard, especially
compared to Django. Best of luck!!
