I find the claim "if your services are small enough ... Django is an overkill" baffling. When you're writing a simple program / command-line tool, do you use a minimalistic programming language or do you just stick to your Python / C++ / whatever? If you have Django expertise, how does it make sense not to just use it, and worry about "an overkill" instead? Overkill in what sense? In the extra 500KB of memory Django uses? In the extra few MBs of disk space? I just don't get it.
