Python is amazing and shines for Web development. I'd recommend taking a look at https://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/index.html. I use this in production on my pet project at https://www.meecal.co/. Put Nginx in front and you're golden.

Definitely take a look, it's come a long way from ten years ago.




I personally like Quart, which is like Flask, but with asyncio. Django is also incredibly popular and has been around forever, so it is very battle-tested.


aiohttp for the win.

I started with cherrypy, then used twisted for years and finally aiohttp made me never look back or search for anything else.


I've been using FastAPI which is made by the same guy as Flask but taking it seriously this time and using asyncio and making space for multithreaded. It's almost a drop-in replacement for Flask.


FastAPI was created by Sebastián Ramírez (tiangolo) and flask was created by Armin Ronacher.


Love Tornado and use them for everything backend at 99.co
