Nick Coghlan:

This isn't an urgent proposal, just a suggestion that an upgrade from Pylons to Pyramid be considered at some point. At least from my perspective, Pyramid (together with Django and Flask) has emerged as one of the "big three" modern Python web frameworks.

This means framework independent components like https://python-social-auth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ are likely to support Pyramid out of the box, while adapting them to work with Pylons (Pyramid's predecessor) would consume effort that could perhaps be better spent modernising Kallithea to run on Pyramid instead.

@hynek has been doing some preliminary investigation into this in a different context, and was able to provide me with some initial links as starting points:
