Proper
Opinionated and batteries-included Python web framework for readable code.
Proper is an opinionated Python web framework designed around convention over configuration and code readability. It comes batteries-included with built-in ORM, forms, caching, authentication, background tasks, and more — no glue code required. Scaffold complete resources (model, controller, views, tests, routes) with a single CLI command.
Developers install Proper via uv, then use CLI generators to scaffold complete, idiomatic resource files (models, controllers, views, tests) wired together and ready to run.
