Flask is also awesome for python-based web development. I found it very easy to jump in as the docs are great: http://flask.pocoo.org/

Here's the post's Django example written using Flask: https://gist.github.com/1296926

This is really, really cool. Thanks for making this.

I really dig the Flask project (love the website and the docs, and everybody who uses it raves about it) and I hope to play with it more in the future, but I don't think I'd recommend it to somebody who is a first timer, largely because of one issue: Data. Flask leaves you to sort it out on your own, which is great if you're capable of that, but Django holds your hand, which is more appropriate for a beginner.

Data? Can you explain that? Not sure what you mean.

As a first-timer, I really appreciated having Flask around. It might not have a database layer, but it did have really excellent documentation. I felt like I had a much firmer understanding of what was happening with Flask than I did with Django.

Nice. It does seem like one of the lighter-weight Python web frameworks might fit in better with the overall theme of this intro, and Flask is a great choice.

I thought about doing the same thing as I read through it.
