Top Five Picks of Python Frameworks for the Year 2023

Introduction

Python is a high-level, interpreted, general-purpose programming language.

It is a rich language in terms of resources, but Python frameworks are a step ahead in providing developers the ease and flexibility to code more and better.

As of 2022, Python is one of the most prominent and bankable programming languages that 80% of programmers admire and use worldwide.

Python is considered one of the futuristic programming languages because it is widely used to code and solve complex problems in artificial intelligence and machine learning

Tech giants like Amazon, Oracle, Google, etc., use Python in various ways to provide a better experience to their users.

So, let's see what Python frameworks bring to the table and what are they used for.

Python Frameworks: What is it?

According to a survey, 41.53% of developers use Python as their primary programming language.

The popularity of Python across all industries is quite evident.

Although writing programs with hard-coded language can sometimes be tricky, that's when frameworks come to the rescue.

Frameworks of any programming language come with a set of predefined packages and modules; professionals find them extremely helpful while writing the code.

Top Industry Verticals

Python frameworks enable their users to make the development process faster and smoother.

Their coding environment sets the developers free from doing mundane stuff like thread management, protocols, and other low–level details, which leads them to concentrate more on the logical side of the code.

Now that we know the advantages of Python frameworks, it's natural to be curious about all options we have and what their features are.

Dig deep and absorb the USPs of the top five Python frameworks that the developers' community relies on and admire!

1. Django

Django is an open-source, high-level Python framework that enables users to build complex apps rapidly.

It was earlier developed to complement Content Management System apps, but later, it became so popular that it stands at the 4th position as the most-used framework for web development!

Popular platforms like Pinterest, Instagram, Mozilla, and many others use Django as one of the frameworks for their websites.

  • Extremely versatile
  • Database Schema Migration
  • SEO friendly
  • Ready-made components for faster coding

So, these are highly-collaborative features that set Django apart from other frameworks.

2. CherryPy

Launched in 2002, CherryPy is one of the oldest object-oriented web Python frameworks. It leverages the strengths of Python as a dynamic language to model the binds of HTTP into APIs.

Hence, while working with CherryPy, a developer can run multiple HTTP servers at a time.      CherryPy framework is widely used on platforms like Hulu, Indigo Domestics, MerchantCircle, and many more.

Features:

  • Clean interface
  • Best-in-class configuration and installation system
  • Huge community support
  • In-built support for testing and coverage

Hence, CherryPy is that OG that not only people from the 2000s but the new developers also love coding in too.

3. Flask

Written in Python, Flask is a micro-framework widely known for its tools that facilitate the web development process.

Flask has an extensive library of add-ons that are easy to deploy in code. It is the least complicated, easy to use, and one of the fastest-growing Python frameworks.

Some renowned brands like Airbnb, Netflix, Reddit, and many more brands use Flask for their development needs.

Features:

  • Integrated support of unit testing
  • Provides a phenomenal IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for developing functional applications
  • Built-in development server and fast debugger
  • Simple and easy to learn and deploy

So, these are the features that help your favorite platform to be in your favorites!

4. Bottle

The Bottle is a WSGI (Web Server Gateway Interface) microweb framework for Python. The distinctive feature of Bottle is it allows the developers to work closely with the hardware.

The Bottle is fast, flexible, and lightweight. For creating a landing page quickly or quick prototyping, Bottle is the best go-to option.

Some renowned brands like Sotong Kitchen, Paysa Data, and Net Power & Light use the Bottle framework.

Features:

  • Plugin support for multiple databases
  • Single file module with no dependencies
  • Integrated template engine
  • Dynamic URL routing and mapping

This is why the Bottle is quite an unmatchable framework out there when it comes to Web server Gateway Interface.

5. Pyramid

Pyramid is an open-source web development framework best known for its minimalistic approach and flexibility to code.

Among Python developers, it is regarded as the most valued framework. The scalability, testability, and flexibility that Pyramid provides; any other Python framework hardly matches it.

Dropbox, Thinkr, Kallibr, App backend, and many other companies use Pyramid to provide a seamless experience to their users.

Features:

  • Platform-independent
  • Supports both HTML generation and validation
  • Caters to both kinds of applications; small and large
  • Supports single file webapps, like microframeworks  

So, HTML support and the removal of platform dependencies have made Pyramid one of the most used and loved frameworks of Python.

Final Words

Conclusion

While these frameworks look great, let us tell you that there are approximately 260 Python frameworks available as you read this article, and more are coming!

Also, let's cut to the chase; there are no perfect IDEs, coding languages, or frameworks. They change based on the project scope, the coding comfort of the professionals, and many other factors.

So, there can't be a ‘one size fits all' concept in a dynamic industry like IT, where every day there is a new launch of something that sounds foreign to half of us!

But, these pointers about the best Python frameworks could help; they are called ‘best' for a reason, right?

So, lay out your project plan, take your weapons (metaphorically!), or reach out to us, and let's start (frame)working!
