Is the Django project Pythonic? I mean, on the one hand, Python is the language of bells and whistles builtin. On the other hand, packages are encouraged to be simple and to the point.

Whilst this wasn't a discussion on which framework is best (and I'm not a Web dev by trade either), I must say I turn to Flask, as I find the API more Pythonic.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the Django source code is probably great, but the less heavyweight packages/frameworks the better. Learn Pythonic API design from somewhere else.
