whats the differene with this from flask?

[iamcreasy]

Second line of the page:

It(bottle.py) is distributed as a single file module and has no dependencies other than the Python Standard Library.

Looks like its only dependencies are the standard library. So it appears to be a more lightweight Flask. Should've been called phial :D

Bottle came first, flask was a play on the name.

Flask was a joke it really got out of hand

[smitty1e]

Flask is a high-level wrapper around werkzeug, with some stock components like jinja2 thrown in.

Basically the Ikea of web site tools.

If that seems a hassle, go Django.

[ddejohn]

TIL. Didn't realize this wasn't a new project (but also didn't read past "WSGI").

In comparison, flask is more like express for the javascript ecosystem. You can cover simple scenarios with bottle, its usage is straightforward
