What Hacker News says

Try Brubeck. It's a Python web framework built around Gevent, DictShield and ZeroMQ. It communicates with Mongrel2, it's web server, via ZeroMQ sockets so even the annoying design of WSGI is moved out of the way. It converts your blocking calls to nonblocking, has no spaghetti code filled with callback shenanigans, and can even generate a full REST API for you. https://github.com/j2labs/brubeck
In Ask HN: Best Python web framework
The difference here is that Brubeck answers ZeroMQ messages from Mongrel2 instead of being a web server. So instead of using WSGI, Brubeck connects to Mongrel2 via a ZeroMQ socket and reads messages representing the web requests. Beyond that I attempted to create a familiar interface for everyone who's used a pythonic web framework before. Indeed, a lot like Flask, but also like Tornado. * Tornado style routing: https://github.com/j2labs/brubeck/blob/master/demos/demo_min... * Flask style routing: https://github.com/j2labs/brubeck/blob/master/demos/demo_noc...
