Python Flask, Django and CherryPy Web Application Samples

  • Python has some of the most compact and well written web application frameworks that are free and absolutely easy to develop and maintain our web applications.
    Also, there are lot of libraries to choose from, when it comes to integrating our web applications to a database.

    But perhaps, the most important advantage of python web applications is that, we can host python web applications on Linux servers. As you might know, most of the hosting providers are based on Linux servers and provides cheaper hosting solutions.
    If we opt for python based web applications, we have a larger set of providers to choose from, when it comes to web hosting, compared to ASPNet web applications.

    In this article we are considering three of the most popular web application development frameworks for python.
    Python Flask, Django and CherryPy.

    While Flask and CherryPy are useful to develop smaller web applications of lesser complexity and is most convenient for beginners to python or web application development, Django is a complete solution with most of the advanced features and has all the tools for developing and maintaining complex web applications.

  1. Python Flask CRUD Samples

    Flask is a web application framework written in Python. Flask can be used to develop light weight web applications, that we can develop entirely in Python. Compared to other web application frameworks, flask is simpler and easier to understand and is best for beginners.

    Below are Flask CRUD samples using different databases.

  2. Django CRUD Samples

    Django is a high-level web application framework written in Python. Compared to Flask, Django has much more features and can be used to develop complex web applications. Initial setup of the Django project requires a bit more work than simpler frameworks like Flask.
    Django web applications are fast, secure and easily scalable.

  3. CherryPy CRUD Samples

    CherryPy is an open-source Python web application development framework. CherryPy allows developers to build web applications in much the same way they would build any other object-oriented Python program. This results in smaller source code developed in less time. CherryPy has been around for many years and is proven to be fast and reliable and supports the latest version of Python.
