Will chime in and mention aiohttp[1]. It's lightweight, fun, and the API is very user-friendly for those willing to work on a slightly lower level. I use it to build speedy APIs, and coupled with a good ORM (peewee? [2]) it's pretty dope.

aiohttp is indeed neat. No WSGI (async-based). The API is clean and HTTP-level. Maybe comparable to Falcon in this regard.
