And for anyone going down this path with Python, I recommend taking a look at web2py after Flask.

web2py is where I finally settled after trying Django and Flask first. It's got more magic in it than Django, and yet, I found Django felt heavier and more "over-engineered". Flask, on the other hand, is very elegant, but as soon as you start patching together a few different libraries, the cognitive load of needing to understand Flask, WTForms and SQLAlchemy was too much for me.

web2py has most of the features of Django, but is written by only 1 person so the API is much more consistent than a Flask-based smorgasbord. It took me a small fraction of the time to get up to speed on the web2py documentation than it did for me to figure out the Django and Flask ecosystems :) I recommend it whole heartily!
