Best Python Modules for Web Development you should know in 2021

Best Python Modules for Web Development you should know

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well, in the last article we talked about the 5 best IDE’s/ Code Editors for python. In case you haven't read it then you can go through it here.
Python is a very powerful general-purpose language. It is used in web development, data science, AI & ML, Software development, etc.
Now, In this article, I'm going to be sharing with you the Best Python modules for Web Development you should know in 2021.

1. Django:

Django python


Django is a web framework for Python, it's very heavyweight and it's actually used by companies like Instagram and Tinder. Django is a completely Python back-end web framework, you can use other languages with it, you can connect it with other framework and it comes with a whole ton of tools and complex developer features that enable you to make well enterprise-level websites.

GitHub Statistics:

  • Stars: 56,839
  • Forks: 24,315
  • Open issues/PRs: 166

Key Features:

It is fast, very fast: Django was developed to help web developers take applications from concept to completion as fast as possible.
Fully Loaded: Django is equipped with dozens of tools to handle common Web development tasks.
Reassuringly secure: Django takes safety significantly and keeps developers away from many common safety mistakes, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery, and clickjacking.
Exceedingly scalable: Some of the busiest websites on earth use Django’s capacity to speedy and flexibly scale to fulfill the heaviest traffic demands.
Incredibly versatile: Companies, corporations, and governments have used Django to construct all kinds of things — from CMS to social networks to scientific computing solutions.

2. Flask:

Flask python

Flask is kind of a competitor of Django. They're both web frameworks although they do have some fundamental differences. So, Django and flask work similarly for basic web sites although flask is much easier and faster to get set up it's a much lighter weight web framework and it doesn't come with all of the tools and crazy things that come with Django.

So, if you were trying to make a very serious website do everything properly that has serious authentication, and things like that you probably use Django. But if you're doing more of a side project or something a little bit smaller then you would likely want to pick flask. It is a much easier module to get running and working with.

GitHub Statistics:

  • Stars: 54,544
  • Forks: 14,237
  • Open issues/PRs: 18

Key Features:

  • Debugger & Development server
  • Integrated support for unit testing
  • RESTful request dispatching
  • Uses Jinja templating
  • 100% WSGI 1.0 compliant
  • Unicode-based
  • Google App Engine compatibility
  • Extensions available to enhance features desired

3. Tornado

Tornado python


Tornado is a Python asynchronous networking library developed using a non-blocking network I/O.Tornado is built to handle asynchronous processes. Tornado can scale to tens of thousands of open connections, making it ideal for long polling, WebSockets, and other applications that require a long-lived connection to each user.

GitHub Statistics:

  •  Stars: 19,900+
  •  Forks: 5,400+
  •  Open issues/PRs: 195


Key Features:

  • It is an asynchronous framework
  • It can handle thousands of active server connections.
  • The is far more flexible and faster than Django Template
  • The HTTPServer is incredibly fast
  • Very less overhead

4. Twisted

Twisted python

Twisted is an event-driven network programming framework written in Python and it is open-source.

GitHub Statistics:

  •  Stars: 4,241
  •  Forks: 1,017
  •  Open issues/PRs: 88


Key Features:

  • It is easy to implement custom network applications with Twisted.
  • It supports many common network protocols, including SMTP, POP3, IMAP, SSHv2, and DNS.
  • Twisted includes an event-driven web server.
  • Twisted has a sophisticated IMAP4 client library.
  • It also has an SSH client & server, "conch"


5. Pyramid

pyramid python

Pyramid is an open-source, web application development framework built in python. It enables Python developers to develop web applications with ease. It is based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern.

GitHub Statistics:

  • Stars: 3,540
  • Forks: 874
  • Open issues/PRs: 67

Key Features:

  • Fastest known Python web framework.
  • Supports small and large projects 
  • Supports single-file web apps.
  • Built-in sessions.
  • Provides Transaction Management.

Above mentioned python frameworks/modules are very important to know if you are a web developer (backend) and you use python for it.

There are a few more python frameworks for web development that I would like to mention.

Shoot your questions and share your thoughts in the comment section.
Thank You.

Ordered Vs Unordered Data Structures in Python

Python has multiple data structures like Lists, Tuples, Dictionaries, Sets, and more . Some of them are Ordered and some are Unordered. This article will discuss  Ordered Vs Unordered Data Structures in Python. Lists It is a collection of a mutable ordered sequence of elements and can be accessed through indexing and defined inside []. Each element inside a List is called an item. From the above example, it is clear that the list maintains a sequence in which elements are inserted. So, it is an ordered data structure in python. Tuples It is a collection of immutable ordered elements, which follows a sequence in which elements are inserted. It is defined inside () and accessed through indexing. The above example shows that Tuples are ordered data structure and follow the sequence of insertion. Dictionaries Collection of items, in which items are defined as key-value pair in {}. Dictionaries are ordered data structures in python. It can be accessed through a specific key. E...

Making a URL Shortener using Python [Source Code Included] | URL Shortener API

In this tutorial , we are going to build a URL Shortener using Python and rebrand.ly API. We are only going to build the backend part of the application. Before jumping into the tutorial, you must know the basics of URL Shortener and API(Application Programming Interface). [This Article is originally published here ] What is a URL Shortener? So, as this tutorial is all about URL Shortener, it is best if you know the basics about it. To put it simply it is a tool that takes a long URL as an input and turns it into a more appealing short URL. Example: Long URL:  https://circuitician.com/esp32-email-notifier/ Shortened URL:  https://rb.gy/b7iqj6 As you can see the shortened URL is more appealing than the long one and it is more readable. Moreover, this shortened URL can be tracked for like no. of clicks, last-click time, etc. Shortened URLs are widely used by online marketers, promoters, and online entrepreneurs to promote their web links on the internet. If you share shortened U...

All you need to know about Microstepping in Stepper Motors

  Microstepping is a technique to control stepper motors, usually used to gain higher resolution or smoother motion at low speeds. What is Stepper Motors? Stepper motors are open-loop, cheap, user-friendly, and robust motors. They offer numerous advantages over other electric motors: They have high torque at low speeds and stall mode. Their speed is easy to control via modulation of pulse widths (PWM). They have pretty good accuracy. They have a great response to start/stop.  When precise and reliable positioning is needed at a low cost, then stepper motors are the obvious choice. What is Microstepping? Consider decreasing torque while micro-stepping a stepper motor for precision. Microstepping is achieved by dividing full steps into smaller steps and this is the reason for the smoothness of motors rotation at low speeds. For example, if you divide a 1.8-degree step 256 times, it will provide a step angle of (1.8/256)=0.0007 degrees or 51,200 m...
