<h2>Do I have to use a web framework?</h2>
1140+
<p>Whether or not you have to use a web framework depends on your experience
1141+
with web development and what you're trying to accomplish. If you are
1142+
a beginner programmer and just want to work on a web application as a
1143+
learning project then a framework can help you understand the concepts listed
1144+
above, such as URL routing, data manipulation and authentication that are
1145+
common to the majority of web applications.</p>
1146+
<p>On the other hand if you're an experienced programmer with significant
1147+
web development experience you may feel like the existing frameworks do not
1148+
match your project's requirements. In that case, you can either mix and match
1149+
open source libraries such as <a href="http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/">Werkzeug</a> for
1150+
WSGI plumbing with your own code to create your own framework. There's
1151+
certainly a lot of room for new frameworks to satisfy the needs of Python
1152+
web developers that are unmet by <a href="/django.html">Django</a>, <a href="/flask.html">Flask</a>,

<a href="/pyramid.html">Pyramid</a>, <a href="/bottle.html">Bottle</a> and

1155+
<p>In short, whether or not you need to use a web framework depends on your
1156+
experience and what you're trying to accomplish. Using a web framework to
1157+
build a web application certainly isn't required, but it'll make most
1158+
