I'm looking for a quickie way to write simple web apps. From context, I
get the idea that you like Flask. Is that true?

Have you ever used Bottle, and if so, how did you like it?

I noticed you didn't mention Django. Is that because it's overkill for
a quick web app?

Troubleshooters.Com is on one of those shared hosting things, and I
doubt either flask or bottle is installed on their server. Is there a
way I can install either one as my own user? I have ssh and sftp rights
to my home directory and web directories.

By the way, I like Python, so Flask and bottle wouldn't force me to use
a language I don't like.

Thanks. This morning I was contemplating using Django for my Symptom
Desription Wizard, and just couldn't get excited about such a bunch of
scaffolding.

Thanks,
