I've shared this list here before, and I might need to update it, but here it is again, FWIW: New kids on the block: - Starlette https://www.starlette.io (function and class based routing) - Vibora https://vibora.io (function based routing, no classes) - Xweb https://github.com/gaojiuli/xweb (unusual routing system, should be possible to adapt to classes) - Storm https://github.com/jiajunhuang/storm (similar enough to Tornado, has classes, but installation is complex) - Responder http://python-responder.org (function-based, has classes only as code-grouping mechanism) - Quart https://pgjones.gitlab.io/quart/ - Sanic https://sanic.readthedocs.io - Bocadillo https://bocadilloproject.github.io/ - Japronto https://github.com/squeaky-pl/japronto The old guard: - Flask http://flask.pocoo.org
