I like the sinatra framework, but might have to work in python. A quick web search has uncovered a few python equivalents including itty, flask and juno.
I'd like to know people's experience of these, or other sinatra equivalents. Which would you recommend?

Sinatra is a DSL for quickly creating web applications in Ruby with minimal effort: require 'sinatra' get '/frank-says' do 'Put this in your pipe & smoke it!' end.
Just like Flask, Sinatra is great for simple applications. The basic Sinatra application is only 4 LOC in a single Ruby source file. Sinatra is used instead of libraries such as Ruby on Rails for the same reason as Flask - you can start small and expand the application as needed.
Okay. So I'm biased because I'm the author of Flask, but here something to help you make the pick:
Besides the ones you mentioned there is also Bottle which is similar to Flask but more minimalistic. Unlike Flask it also re-implements everything from ground up instead of building on an independent foundation like Werkzeug.
Other alternatives is web.py, one of the first microframeworks ever. Same rule as bottle: re-implements everything from the ground up.
