It maps Python functions directly to HTTP routes and HTML elements, letting you write full-stack applications in pure Python. The framework uses starlette and uvicorn under the hood and integrates with beautifulsoup4 for HTML manipulation and httpx2 for HTTP requests.\n\nThe core idea is that your Python functions return HTML fragments, and HTMX handles swapping them into the page on the client side\u2014eliminating the need to write JavaScript or manage a separate frontend. It ships with fastcore for functional utilities and includes support for authentication (via oauthlib), file uploads (python-multipart), and date handling (python-dateutil). The framework is still in Alpha, so the API may change, but it has active development and a growing community.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you want to build interactive web apps in pure Python and are comfortable with Alpha-stage software. The low install friction, active maintenance, permissive license, and strong community signal make it a solid choice for prototyping or production use in teams that prefer Python over JavaScript. Not recommended if you need a stable, battle-tested framework or require a large ecosystem of third-party integrations."},"id":"python-fasthtml","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-fasthtml","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-fasthtml.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-fasthtml/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-31","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-fasthtml","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The fastest way to create an HTML app"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1108486,"position":4360,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.14.11"}
