Which Python framework is flexible and similar to CodeIgniter in PHP?
For the fastest development you may dive into Django. But Django is probably not the fastest solution. Flask is lighter. Also you can try Pyramid.
The requirement is to develop a HTML based facebook app. It would not be content based like a newspaper site,
but will mostly have user generated data which would be aggregated and presented from database + memcache.
The app would contain 4-5 pages at most, with different purposes.
We decided to write the app in Python instead of PHP , and tried to evaluate django.
However, we found django is not as flexible as how CodeIgniter in PHP is i.e. putting less restrictions and rules, and allowing you to do what you want to do.
PHP CodeIgnitor is minimalistic MVC framework, which we would have chosen if we were to develop in PHP.
Can you please suggest a flexible and minimalistic python based web framework? I have heard of pylons,cheeryPy,web.py , but I am completely unaware of their usage and structure.
