What is it?

This is a curated, ranked list of Python libraries for web development, covering roughly 590 projects across 26 categories such as web frameworks, HTTP clients, servers, authentication, OpenAPI and GraphQL tools, Flask, Django and FastAPI extensions, web testing, and web scraping. Each entry shows a combined quality score along with GitHub stars, forks, contributors, and package-manager download counts, with install commands for PyPI and Conda.

Projects are ranked by an automatically computed quality score based on metrics collected from GitHub and package managers. Entries are flagged when they are inactive, dead, or have licensing concerns, which helps readers avoid abandoned dependencies. Contributions are accepted through issues, pull requests, or edits to the underlying projects file.

The list is most useful when you are choosing a framework, HTTP client, or supporting library for a Python web project and want to compare options in the same category.
