Not to mention, a few parts / typical components of pyramid are kind of nuts, like auth. Colander is also a struggle to use.

Still my go-to framework though. The websauna framework linked above might be something I have to try.

As I build more and more side projects I find myself wishing pyramid were just a bit more opinionated so I could get the basics up and running a tad faster. At this point I mostly cut up old projects and port them to each next one, heh
