I've never used Flask, but it looks quite slick and simple (compared with Django). It makes use of some other components (werkzeug, jinja, etc.) so your Flask skills could be repurposed. Depending on your operational environment, it may not be, uh, "enterprise-y" enough for some folks. -Mike On Tue, Jul 10, 2012 at 8:12 PM, Andrew Hankinson <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Have a look at Tornado: > > http://www.tornadoweb.org/ > > It's our default "get something up and running quickly" Python framework. > > -Andrew > > On 2012-07-10, at 8:05 PM, William Denton wrote: > >> I have a fairly basic web service I want to hack on that would manage some stuff (not too much) and feed out JSON in response to request.
