Not OP but django is huge and the dependency chain is crazy for me its just way more than i need and doesn't solve a problem that i can already solve with more light weight frameworks. I have know django developers who were great in django but never got their heads around python beyond the framework. Maybe things have changed since the last time i poked at it.
