Pyramid is an open source web framework written in Python and is based on WSGI. It is a minimalistic web framework inspired by Zope, Pylons and Django.[2]
Originally called "repoze.bfg", Pyramid gathered attention mostly in the Zope[3] and Plone community as the Open Society Institute's KARL project migrated from Plone to BFG.[4] In 2010 it was announced that the Pylons framework will move over to using BFG as a base in version 1.5.[5] As a result of the inclusion of BFG into the Pylons project, BFG was renamed Pyramid. [6]
Features
Pyramid is a minimalistic, platform-independent MVC object publishing web framework. It is persistence agnostic and is integrated both with SQL databases via SQLAlchemy, but also has integration with the Zope Object Database and other NoSQL databases, such as CouchDB.[7]
Pyramid also allows you to define routes that takes regular expressions that maps to objects, like most other frameworks. And it also allows hierarchical object traversal where each part of an URL is an object that contains other objects, in a way similar to folders; like fellow framework Zope.[8]
