    A 10 on my most preferred spreadsheet. I preferred As-Easy-As. Resisted the bloated Windows version of Lotus123 and Excel for years.

    Do you ever use Python on the server side for Web pages or mostly back and forth with spreadsheets?


    Anybody have a recommendation for a web framework for Python?

    At work I used it to test APIs, validate databases, create, read, and validate Excel spreadsheets, and maybe some random file-related stuff. At home I use it to do web scraping on auction sites and filter out stuff based upon filter criteria I put into Excel spreadsheets.

    I never used it for server-side stuff (other than validation/interfacing with API's) or serving web pages. A few years ago when I looked into it, Django and Flask were the 2 big ones (actually it was Django and then Flask was up and coming). Nowadays there seems to be a ton of microframeworks out there. Maybe someone else can help you with something better. Or just hit r/Python or something.

    I already had Flask under consideration and downloaded Django last night. Haven't picked a real direction yet and still have a few others under consideration.

    So decided to ask now before making a definite decision. Probably leaning towards Django, but still open to change.

    used to be a 9 - when I used VB to create apps and functions in it - it's so much more powerful of a tool then many realize. But now...I do marketing so don't ever need to utilize the full power of it...probably down to a 7.

    It always amused me when peopel say they are skilled at microsoft excel and you ask them what a pivot table is and they have no clue.
