I would use web2py for these requirements, because you get the authentication/authorization, sessions, DAL (for db access) capabilities out of the box. You probably need packages in addition to pydal (for DAL support), on top of Flask to accomplish this. Look at the gluino example to see what I mean: https://github.com/mdipierro/gluino

Hi all,

I'm new to web2py and have been working my way through the learning materials. I have a specific application and am wondering if web2py is a good choice for a framework or something simpler such as Flask. Specifically I want to create a web application (for an intranet) where a user would upload a data file using the standard browser file dialog, have it analyzed by an algorithm I've written in Python and then responses plotted on the page and also a file of results savable using the browsers standard save file dialog. I know enough Python to handle the file parsing, data analysis and result file generation. I'll need access to Python libraries such as Numpy. I've discovered Bokah (http://bokeh.pydata.org) as an attractive plotting library. They use Flask in their tutorial. I haven't found anything particularly clear about how to invoke the browser file dialogs. Eventually I'd like to use a database to archive the uploaded data files and resulting result files along with other information such as user, date, instrument serial number, etc.

Thanks,

Eric
