Python web framework with CRUD powered by AJAX [closed]

Question

I am looking for a Python web framework which will allow me to rapidly build a CRUD application with automatic AJAX support.

The framework should be able to generate a nice table which is sortable and filterable, which works via AJAX and without JS support at all as well.

I have looked at TurboGears2 and it seems promising, is there any other framework that can do the job for me?

Answer 1

Most of the modern frameworks, like TG, Django or Flask support CRUD-style applications. But none of those are that much abstract, that you can give them a model, and there you have your ajaxy db manipulation templates and validations.

Django has django-admin and a great form builder and helper module; Flask can work with WTForms easily. Javascript is just as usable with any of the above frameworks, so that with a little recherche in the jQuery plugin area, you might be able to quickly build your application.

Answer 2

You might check out web2py. Very easy CRUD, and great Ajax support (see also, web2py components). web2py's plugin_wiki also includes widgets for CRUD and jqGrid.

There's also a new grid plugin under development called powerTable, which is a web2py wrapper for the jQuery DataTables plugin.

If you have questions, the web2py community will be happy to help you out.
