I was responding to the request in the top comment for something simpler that can be used for weekend projects. In this case, Bottle.py is "better" in that it is more simple than Flask; not that Bottle.py as a web framework is objectively better than Flask.

For the record, I've used both, and Bottle is much faster to get started with. The docs are also much leaner.

Flask will take you pretty far. I'm not sure I would build a build a business around it, but it's the easiest thing I've found for just getting some code up on the web.

This tutorial is a pretty in-depth guide that incrementally adds more features to a flask app: https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial...

By no means do you need to use everything in here, but I reference it from time to time. This is plenty:

    from flask import Flask, render_template

    app = Flask(__name__)


    @app.route("/")
    def index():
        return "<h1>hello world<h1>"


    @app.route("/foo")
    def foo():
        return render_template("foo.html", vars={"foo": "bar"})

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        app.run()
