Runway is a Python Framework built on top of Pyramid. It is designed to handle generic issues such as user logins, theming and suchlike.

• Users and Usergroups

• Cron jobs and batch processing

• Test case setup
• HTML/JS Widgets
• Themes

• Updates to schemas

Runway was created to handle things in Pyramid I wanted to be handled for me. I love Pyramid's philosophy of making as few choices for you as possible; it just happens these are some choices I'll have the same answer to in most of my work.
