How have I never even heard about this before? About six months ago I was looking for a Python Framework for Agile dev (one of my previous clients was nuts about agile & python). Kicking myself for not finding this :( Looks pretty cool after skimming through it; keep up the good work Pyramid dev team!

It was still repoze.bfg back then

ericmsimons2• 15 years ago

Ah that makes sense. Still didn't find it though, so maybe it's time to switch from Bing back to Google ;)

I did some heavy research around the same time and came across Pylons and I went down that route. Then Pylons merged with Repoze.bfg and we've had to re-write. That being said, Pyramid is great and the documentation is wonderful also.

Congrats to Ben Bangert, Chris McDonough and the rest of the team responsible for getting this released prior to PyCon.

I'm a complete Python n00b just starting to get interested in the language. Could somebody please explain why I might use this instead of Django for web app development?

Granted this applies to Pylons, not Pyramid, but, Pyramid is a leap forward, so, the points are still quite valid.

Very helpful link, thank you.

Full disclosure: I prefer Django for almost everything.

If Pyramid continued the tradition of Pylons (and I think it did), then the major selling point is modularity. It's an amazing backbone which allows you to use your favorite open source projects for things like ORM, Template Language, etc. While other frameworks do allow you to switch out those "core" components if you play around with it enough, Pyramid/Pylons supports practically everything out of the box. Someone with more familiarity with the framework feel free to correct me on this.

Pyramid discards the Pylons 1.0 code and builds on repose.bfg:

Congrats! As a long-time user of Pylons I must say these guys rock. I didn't always agree with their design choices for Pylons and Pyramid, but this framework is rock-solid, it is truly production-quality piece of software.

Also it's built for a very specific user/programmer in mind, i.e. someone who's not afraid of popping the hood here and there, who doesn't need a blogging app in 30 minutes but in exchange gets to use the best collection of Python libraries neatly stitched together.

I absolutely agree with the pylons love. For any serious app, you have to pop the hood in every web framework, and it's such a relief to find a framework that's actually designed with that in mind.

I just started a bunch of Django projects because Pylons was discontinued and Pyramid was still called alpha in their docs. Oh well, next one will be Pyramid.

I must say, the documentation is really nice. Not just in terms of completeness, but also in terms of readability, structure and presentation.

That alone will make me have a play with Pyramid.
