Regardless of Flask's humble beginnings, it is indeed a serious project, very stable, and quite awesome. And yes, I would recommend it for your use, assuming you want to learn Python as a whole. Flask is easy enough that you can start building an app right away, but at the same time, it leaves out all the extra 'magic' that ship with things like Django, so you'll be learning a lot more Python as you add onto your app. It's a great mix of simplicity and power, and is great for learning. Go for it.

I'm curious about what you think is "magic" in Django? It does have a lot more included than Flask/Werkzeug/Jinja2 but it did start in the era before Pip/VirtualEnv existed so a lot more had to be included.

After numerous purges (the magic-removal-branch being the biggest) and deprecations over the years since 1.0, Django is IMO pretty magic-free. If you have suggestions of what isn't Pythonic enough, I think the core team would appreciate a ticket on Trac:

I think it's the different between a normal python application and a web app: url dispatcher/route, request handler, template, extension...I started with Django, but Flask clears thing better for me.
