JamesCooper gave a short talk on the Flask framework. Flask is a new (post-2008) microframework. "Microframework" means its primary goal is to be small and simple.
KevinLaTona gave a short talk on the Aspen framework. Aspen is also new and small, and it has a unique application API, where views are literal files like PHP, and they combine the view code and template in the same file, separated by a page-break character (ctrl-L).
