This is hardly an apples to apples comparison. Pyramid (ex-Pylons) and Django are "full-stack" frameworks with everything incuding the kitchen sink. App Engine only runs on App Engine, so probably isn't that relevant anyway. The others are (by their own descriptions) micro-frameworks, suitable for smaller applications with 10 URLs or so.

It's possible to use both in a project, for example we at Smarkets use Django for the main site (as we have tonnes of URLs and complexity), and use Flask for a RESTful API to our search engine. I wouldn't dream of swapping or comparing them: they both do their own job very well.




Just a remark.

I don't think the attribute micro relates to the size of the projects you can create with these frameworks but rather the way they are written: Keep the core small and rely on external libraries for specific functionality.
