You can use as little of Django as you need. I like flask also, but to get it at all functional for larger apps you have to bring in dependencies.

That's one of the reasons I recently made a pared-down Django project, to highlight that you don't need to use all of the tools Django offers: https://github.com/rnevius/minimal-django

Nice example; thanks for posting a link. I didn't have anything handy when I posted my comment.
