Flask-SQLAlchemy is an extension for Flask that adds support for SQLAlchemy to your application. It simplifies using SQLAlchemy with Flask by setting up common objects and patterns for using those objects, such as a session tied to each web request, models, and engines. Flask-SQLAlchemy does not change how SQLAlchemy works or is used. See the SQLAlchemy documentation to learn how to work with the ORM in depth. The documentation here will only cover setting up the extension, not how to use SQLAlchemy.

Mezzanine is a powerful open source content management platform built using the Django framework. In many ways it is like many other content management tools, offering an intuitive interface for managing all of your content. But Mezzanine is different in that it provides most of its functionality by default. While other platforms rely heavily on modules or reusable applications, Mezzanine comes ready with all the functionality you need, making it the more efficient choice. Mezzanine has a simple yet highly extensible architecture that lets you really get into the code. Apart from the features that come with Django such as MVC architecture, ORM, templating and caching, Mezzanine comes with a great many other features. This includes hierarchical page navigation, a simple drag-and-drop HTML5 forms builder with CSV export, scheduled publishing, easy page ordering, social media sharing, and so much more.

A lightweight REST mini framework for Python. Works great with Django, Flask, Pyramid & Tornado, but should be useful for many other Python web frameworks. Based on the lessons learned from Tastypie & other REST libraries. Restless tries to be RESTful by default, but flexible enough. The main Resource class has data methods (that you implement) for all the main RESTful actions. It also uses HTTP status codes as correctly as possible. Restless is BYOD (bring your own data) and hence, works with almost any ORM/data source. If you can import a module to work with the data & can represent it as JSON, Restless can work with it. Restless is small & easy to keep in your head. Common usages involve overriding just a few easily remembered method names. Total source code is an under a thousand lines of code.
