Not a direct Dancer question but more a comment

I am having to look for a python framework (the client does not feel perl has longevity!) and based on Dancer2's experience I have been looking for something similar and found Flask. Django seems to prescriptive and big. However, you only realise how damn good Dancer really is when you see how much there isn't in flask, despite it being one of the leading python frameworks.

Wish I could dance my way out of this.....

I see. :|. In order to learn Python better I translated this Perl/CGI program - https://github.com/shlomif/shlomi-fish-homepage/blob/master/t2/humour/fortun... to bottle.py ( https://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/ ) and I chose it instead of Flask because it seemed easier to deploy on my web hosting. I don't know whether it is better than Flask, but it was adequate for my needs, and you may find it better as well. Here is the source of the result: https://github.com/shlomif/shlomi-fish-homepage/blob/master/t2/humour/fortun... ( MIT licensed. ) Note that I have only really scratched the surface with micro web frameworks.
