Re:Ask HN: Why do you use framework X?

Likewise, I code in Python with mod_wsgi, web.py, SQLAlchemy and a library I've built up of common classes and functions:
* Mod_wsgi - standard (and imho best) way to connect code to a web application.
* web.py - a framework for people who don't like frameworks. It does exactly what you want it to do and then gets out of the way.
* SQLAlchemy - the benefits of a smart ORM, from being able to define a Model in native Python to the baked-in protection against SQL injection attacks, more than justify the cognitive overhead involved in learning it.
