Re: Webinterface for python script

Hi Scott,

100% agree with all your points about stock Django. This is BTW the way I use it in all my projects. The stripping experiment I mentioned has been done for curiosity's sake, for diving a bit into customization if ever I would need it some day.

Knowing this, my suggestion about providing indications about how to shrink Djagon's footprint is more aimed at reassuring people having doubts about Django being suited to their project because looking as "too heavy", by showing them that it can be slimmed down if wanted (needed ?).

Best

Eric

Hi Derek,

but I have never seen anyone refer to it as a "lightweight" project (before you, that is).

I didn't meant "Django is lightweight" but "Django can be lightweight", implied you configure it accordingly.

To be clear, I'm talking about stock Django. Out of the box, Django is already lightweight for all practical intents and purposes. I've *never* encountered a problem with startup time, memory usage, or speed due to Django itself. I don't need to remove the ORM or tweak the template layer or anything else. Out of the box, Django is already fast. Therefore, I cannot seem to find a use case that makes Flask worth all of the additional dev time that it requires worth it.

Yep. And quickly. In execution time, there is no metric I care about where "Flask wins" but in development time, stock Django is way ahead of Flask.

I agree that what could be added in Django documentation is a section explaining how to strip its default application setting down to the minimal stuff for equating solutions such as Flask,

No need. Django doesn't need to be stripped down - it's already plenty fast for virtually every web project. Even the smallest ones. But as small projects grow into large/complex ones, Django has your back while Flask does not.
