Bottle is a fast, lightweight WSGI micro web-framework for Python distributed as a single file module with no dependencies beyond the standard library. It provides URL routing, a built-in template engine, request utilities, and adapters for WSGI servers like gunicorn.
Use cases
- build a small REST API in python
- prototype a web app with minimal dependencies
- serve a simple website from a single python file
- create microservices with a lightweight framework
- map URLs to python functions with dynamic routes
- deploy a WSGI app behind gunicorn
When to choose
- you want a tiny, dependency-free framework for small apps, prototypes, or REST APIs
- you prefer understanding your whole stack by reading a single source file
- you need quick weekend projects or microservices
When to avoid
- you need a full-stack framework with ORM, auth, and admin out of the box (use Django)
- you want a large ecosystem of extensions and community tooling (Flask may fit better)
- you are building large, complex applications with tight deadlines
