1. Django
2. Flask
3. Web2Py
4. Pyramid
5. Bottle

Today we are going to discuss the best frameworks made up of Python that you should use if you are a web developer in 2022. So, if you are a developer and you are interested to know about more things like this then share our post with your developer friends so, that they can also gain some knowledge and we keep getting motivated to write more posts like this.

Django

Django is a free, open-source Python framework that uses the model–template–views architectural pattern. It is a very advanced Python framework and the best among all the Python frameworks for testing and web development. 

It is used for the rapid development of secure and maintainable websites with a clean and pragmatic look, you don't have to reinvent the wheel every time in this amazing Python framework called Django because it takes care of much of the hassle of web development. It is also, open-source and lightweight. 

Its Github repository is https://github.com/django/django It is suitable for both the frontend and backend and its main goal is to help you make web applications easily. It is mainly used for creating quality web applications and dynamic websites it has its own templating engine to generate HTML templates which makes the process of creating a dynamic website much easier, however, we can also create regular websites with Django. 

Django was designed by Adrian Holovaty and Simon Willison when they were working at the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper and now, it is owned and operated by Django Software Foundation which is a USA-based company. Django was initially released on 21 July 2005 around 16 years ago. 

It is integrated with the Django REST framework, Select2, Bugsnag, Strapi Cloudinary, and more. Popular companies like Pinterest, Udemy, Trivago, Pratilipi, Instagram, Robinhood, and more are using this amazing Python web framework for their projects. 

Now, let's talk about its advantages -

1. It is implemented in Python and its open-source
2. It supports rapid development.
3. It is very secure.
4. It is very scalable.
5. It has good community support.
6. It provides better CDN connection and content management.

But like advantages also it has some of the disadvantages like -

1. It is not suitable for a small project.
2. It doesn't provide multiprocessor support.
3. It is not easy to learn but if you learn it is very easy to create projects with it.
4. It is a monolithic framework.
5. Its components are tightly coupled.
6. Regular expression of URLs

Flask

Flask is a microweb framework that is written in Python and it is lightweight and open-source. Its Github repository is https://github.com/pallets/flask It is classified as a microframework because it does not require particular tools or libraries. It is claimed and believed that Flask is the biggest competitor of Django. 

It has no database abstraction layer, form validation, or any other components where pre-existing third-party libraries provide standard functions. It was developed by Armin Ronacher who is an Austrian open-source software programmer and Flask was initially released on 1 April 2010 around 11 years ago. It is used for creating web applications using Python. 

It was implemented on Werkzeug and Jinja2 and Flask is suitable for the backend but it was initially designed as a web framework for RESTful API development. It is integrated with Bugsnag, Strapi, Airbrake, KeyCDN, Bokeh, Stormpath, behave, AnyChart, unit test, Faust, Waitress, PyPy, Wing, PythonIDE, CDNsun, PyWebIO, and more and companies like Netflix, CRED, Trivago, ML, Patreon, Barolo, Reddit, etc are using it. 

There are many advantages of using Flask like - 

1. Scalable.
2. Flexible. 
3. Easy to barter. 
4. Lightweight. 
5. Documentation. 
6. Not lots of tools. 
7. Difficult to urge awareness of a more extensive Flask app.

But along with advantages, there are some disadvantages of Flask like -

1. more potential for security risks.
2. slower MVP development in most cases.
3. more complex tech stack.
4. higher maintenance costs for more complex systems.
5. more complicated maintenance for larger implementations.

Web2Py

Web2Py is also one of the best Python frameworks for testing and web development out there. It is an open-source web application that helps programmers to program dynamic content for their websites using Python. 

It's Github repository https://github.com/web2py/web2py although it was designed to reduce web development tasks such as developing web forms from starting and working like that. It is cross-platform means that you can run it on Windows, Linux, and other operating systems which can run on your computer. It was initially released on September 27, 2007. 

Web2Py is developed and copyrighted by Massimo Di Pierro who is an Italian web developer, data science expert, and lecturer. He's been a professor for the School of Computing at DePaul University in Chicago and one fact about Web2Py is that it was inspired by Django about which we talked later and you can create, modify, deploy and manage applications from anywhere using your browser with it. 

It can also run multiple websites using different databases and their community is also good and their documentation is also good which you can read if you want to learn how to install it and more you will find all instructions there. It is integrated with Nginx, Json, Windows, and more and companies like Vidjil, Sarapis, StopStalk, Groupthink, Rune Interactive, Oceangrafix.com, and Runestone. academy and more. 

Now, let's also discuss some of the advantages of Web2Py like - 

1. Supports MVC Architecture.
2. Keeps Web Application Portable. 
3. Provides a Web-Based IDE. 
4. Comes with Useful Batteries. 
5. Simplifies Data-Driven Web Application Development.
6. Keeps the Web Application Secure. 
7. Simplifies Web Application Maintenance.

But along with advantages, there are some disadvantages of Web2Py like -

1. It is not as popular as Django and Flask.
2. You may find it difficult to learn it as there are no tutorials on Web2Py.
3. Its community is good but not so big.

Pyramid

Pyramid is a general, open-source WSGI framework through which you can create web applications easily it is written in Python. Its Github repository is https://www.github.com/Pylons/pyramid. It is based on Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern. 

It is cross-platform means you can use it on the major popular OS(Operating systems) like Windows, Mac OS, and more. It was developed by Chris McDonough, Ben Bangert, Michael Merickel, Bert JW Regier, and Steve Piercy. It was released on July 8, 2008, around 11 years ago. 

Companies like Kalibrr, Juniper Square, Gandi.net, App backend, Once, RideLink, Tango Financial, and more are using it. But a lot of people don't know about this framework as it is not so, popular and due to the competition of Django and flask, etc. 

Now let's discuss its advantages -

1. It is flexible
2. With Pyramid, you have to write less code while developing a web application.
3. It is free. 
4. It is open-source.
5. It is cross-platform.

But like advantages only it has some disadvantages like -

1. Its community is not big.
2. It is not better than Django.
3. It is not popular and its tutorials are not much available. 

Bottle

The bottle is a micro-framework written in Python that is good for beginners in web framework technology in Python. It is initially important for building APIs. A good thing about bottles is that they implement everything in a source file. It has no dependencies apart from the Python Standard Library. 

It has default features like Its default features like routing, templating, utilities, a basic abstraction over the WSGI standard, and more. It was developed by Marcel Hellkamp and Bottle was initially released on July 1 2009 it is cross-platform and open-source. 

Its Github repository is https://github.com/bottlepy/bottle. It is integrated with Python, Vue JS, and Jinja. It is used by companies like eCommerce, Paysa Data, Net Power, light, and more. 

It has some advantages like - 

1. It is open-source and cross-platform.
2. It is fast.
3. Super easy to use.
4. Easy to learn.
5. Good documentation.

And its disadvantages are - 

1. It is not so popular.
2. You may find it difficult to learn it as there are no tutorials on it as of now.
3. Its community is good but not so big.

Conclusion

All the Python web frameworks that I have mentioned are good but my personal opinion is to use Django or Flask because both of them have a bigger community and both of them are well known due to which their courses and tutorials are easily available otherwise every framework that I have mentioned in the list has a USP in it.
