## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: stable
- function: web-framework, routing, templating, auth, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: wsgi, pylons-project, traversal, url-dispatch, configurator, web-server
