Flask Description

Flask is a lightweight WSGI framework for web applications. It's easy to use and can scale up to complex applications. It started as a wrapper for Jinja and Werkzeug, and has since grown to be one of the most popular Python web app frameworks. Flask is a suggestion tool that doesn't require any dependencies. The developer can choose the tools and libraries that they prefer. The community has many extensions that make it easy to add new functionality.

CherryPy Reviews
CherryPy
CherryPy lets developers build web applications the same way as they would any other object-oriented Python programme. This allows for smaller source code to be developed in less time. CherryPy has been around for more than ten year and has proven to be reliable and fast. Many sites, from the most basic to the most demanding, use it in production. To get the most out of CherryPy you should begin with the tutorials which will guide you through the most important aspects of the framework.

    Summary: Overall Flask is a good option if you need a quick and crude Python REST API. It doesn't have a lot of advanced features though.

    Positive: - extremely easy to set up
    - quite fast
    - simple syntax allows for easy REST API creation
    - simple templating engine
    - JSON serialization support
    - free

    Negative: - very poor documentation
    - very limited features compared to something like jekyll
