WTForms vs. python-sql vs. yarl vs. zope.interface Comparison Chart

WTForms is a flexible forms validation and rendering library for Python web development. It can work with whatever web framework and template engine you choose. It supports data validation, CSRF protection, internationalization (I18N), and more. There are various community libraries that provide closer integration with popular frameworks. WTForms tries to provide as usable an API as possible. We’ve listed here some of the known libraries to work with WTForms, but if it’s not listed, it doesn’t mean it won’t work. Pretty much any ORM or object-DB should work, as long as data objects allow attribute access to their members. WTForms uses unicode strings throughout the source code and assumes that form input has already been coerced to unicode by your framework. WTForms fields render to unicode strings by default, and therefore as long as your templating engine can work with that, you should have no unicode issues.

All URL parts, scheme, user, password, host, port, path, query, and fragment are accessible by properties. All URL manipulations produce a new URL object. Strings passed to constructor and modification methods are automatically encoded giving canonical representation as result. Regular properties are percent-decoded, use raw_ versions for getting encoded strings. Human-readable representation of URL is available as .human_repr(). PyPI contains binary wheels for Linux, Windows and MacOS. If you want to install yarl on another operating system (like Alpine Linux, which is not manylinux-compliant because of the missing glibc and therefore, cannot be used with our wheels) the tarball will be used to compile the library from the source code. It requires a C compiler and Python headers installed. Please note that the pure-Python (uncompiled) version is much slower. However, PyPy always uses a pure-Python implementation, and, as such, it is unaffected by this variable.
