description Pyramid Overview

Pyramid is a Python web framework prioritizing flexibility and scalability, offering components for database access, templating, and REST APIs while allowing developers to choose their preferred tools.

help Pyramid FAQ

Does Pyramid include its own ORM?

No, Pyramid deliberately leaves database selection to the developer. SQLAlchemy is a common pairing, while official tutorials also demonstrate ZODB and other replaceable components.

Does Pyramid use URL dispatch or traversal?

It supports both URL dispatch and resource traversal. A project can choose one approach or combine them where different parts of the application benefit from different routing models.

How is Pyramid's design different from Django?

Django supplies an integrated ORM, template system, admin interface, and many conventions, while Pyramid starts with routing, security, requests, and views. Pyramid's Pylons Project philosophy is commonly summarized as paying only for the components the application needs.

Which Python versions can run current Pyramid?

Current Pyramid 2.1 documentation requires Python 3.10 or newer and lists testing through Python 3.14. It also runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, and a supported PyPy release.
