Comment on Building a full Django project, starting with a single file

Comments

Fantastic idea to start Django with a single file!

Some years back when I had to do some quick and dirty projects, I chose to go with Flask because of how dirt simple it was to start.

All the Django books and tutorials had this hidden magic abstraction feel to them after:

  $ django-admin startproject <project-name> .
  $ python manage.py startapp <app-name>

Once you've reinvented half the Django functionality in Flask (using SQLAlchemy etc) you realize the need for the most of these abstractions.
