Pyramid – Python Microframework – Goldilocks Solution

Pyramid is a web microframework for Python 2 and 3. It makes real-world web application development and deployment more fun, more predictable, and more productive.

Key Features

• Fast in operation.
• Function Decorators.
• Predicates – tests which returns True or False. Two different types of predicates exist in Pyramid: a view predicate and a route predicate. View predicates are attached to view configuration and route predicates are attached to route configuration.
• Renderers – a serializer which converts non-Response return values from a view into a string, and ultimately into a response, usually through view configuration.
• Asset Specifications – a colon-delimited identifier for an asset. The colon separates a Python package name from a package subpath. For example, the asset specification my.package:static/baz.css identifies the file named baz.css in the static subdirectory of the my.package Python package.
• Events and Subscribers – use events to coordinate actions.
• Configure applications with decorators – keep your configuration right next to your code.
• Build single-file applications which makes deployment easier.
• Use multiple templating systems, even in the same project.
• Provides flexible, consistent, easy to use tools for generating URLs.
• Flexible tools for serving JavaScript, CSS, images and other static assets.
• Automatically detect changes you make to template files and code, so your changes are immediately available in your browse.
• Add-ons extend the core of the framework with extra functionality.
• Static assets are located using asset specifications, strings that contain reference both to a Python package name and a file or directory name.
• Built-in support for HTTP sessions, so you can associate data with specific users between requests. Plug in your own custom sessioning system.
• Internationalization-related features in its core: localization, pluralization, and creating message catalogues from source files and templates.
• Easy way to cache the results of slow or expensive views
• Fully compatible with Python 3.
• Good documentation is available.
