Pyramid is a small, fast, open-source Python web framework from the Pylons Project built on WSGI. It scales from single-file hello-world apps to large complex applications, letting developers choose their own tools rather than imposing a megaframework's decisions.

Use cases

• build a python web application
• create a wsgi web app with routing and views
• develop a web api in python
• build a web app that can grow from small to complex
• learn a python web framework with good documentation
• add authentication and forms to a python web app

When to choose

• you want a flexible Python framework that doesn't force architectural decisions
• you need WSGI-based web development with URL dispatch or traversal
• your application may start small but grow in complexity
• you value extensive documentation and long-term stability

When to avoid

• you want an async-first framework like FastAPI or aiohttp
• you prefer a batteries-included megaframework like Django
• you need a minimal microframework like Flask for tiny scripts
