framework: Flask

database: Postgresql

server: UWSGI + Cherokee

Flask is a very nice framework, and the documentation is awesome. I've tried a lot of Python frameworks out before deciding on Flask. It's a paralyzing decision - there is just so much out there. The process of choosing a web framework is filled with information overload - from reading about the framework, dabbling with the code, and finally learning the actual framework. For the reason, I recommend going with a microframework. You learn what you need as you go. So this lead me to Flask.

Two things set Flask apart (for me) - the documentation and the extensions. Just check out the site http://flask.pocoo.org for more information. You also want to be assured that development on the framework is not just going to be dropped some day. It really feels like this framework is going places. (My initial inclination was toward CherryPy, but the documentation is bad. After all these years.)

My dev work is mostly done on Windows, and for an IDE I've taken to using JetBrain's PyCharm. (I'm primarily a .NET developer, and I find it more convenient to use Windows to avoid context switching. The fact that I deal with the massive and all-encompassing .NET is also a major reason I went with a Python microframework). On Linux, I can get by with Emacs.

I've used Django for years, but Flask is the bomb.

I like the idea of microframeworks. My first framework was rails; I struggled with it after being used to framework-less PHP. I was much happier when I found out about Sinatra! I'll have to check out Flask, though really Django doesn't get in your way too much for most tasks.
