About

Flask is a lightweight framework for building web applications in Python.

It provides a minimal core that includes URL routing, request/response handling, a built-in development server and debugger, Jinja2 as templating engine, support for RESTful APIs, and the ability to extend functionality via numerous third-party libraries.

Web2py is an open-source full-stack Python framework for rapid development of secure database-driven web applications that works out of the box with no configuration files.

It includes a web-based IDE, a built-in web server, a database abstraction layer, automatic migrations, form generation, support for multiple protocols (HTML, REST, JSON, XML-RPC etc.), and built-in security against common vulnerabilities.
