In py-frameworks-bench they have another minimal setup:

The tests themselves seem to show falcon as the quickest.

This post has some line-by-line comments about minimal apps in django and flask.

I disagree on popularity measure though in the post: when looking at github followers flask and django have about the same popularity.

This text in a widely publicised general python tutorial treats web frameworks concept:

Broadly speaking, a web framework consists of a set of libraries and a main handler within which you can build custom code to implement a web application (i.e. an interactive web site). Most web frameworks include patterns and utilities to accomplish at least the following:

• [x] URL Routing - Matches an incoming HTTP request to a particular piece of Python code to be invoked
• [x] Request and Response Objects - Encapsulate the information received from or sent to a user’s browser
• [ ] Template Engine - Allows for separating - Python code implementing an application’s logic from the HTML (or other) output that it produces
• [ ] Development Web Server - Runs an HTTP server on development machines to enable rapid development; often automatically reloads server-side code when files are updated.

In my opinion URL routing and request/reposne objects are most important.

Here is quite minimal configuartion from django-configurations, a settings.py replacement:

https://github.com/jazzband/django-configurations/tree/templates/1.8.x

It is surprisingly small and compact.

This last one looks like the default django startproject template to me, albeit an older version.
