Flask is great for beginners because it's well documented and easy to understand. You can become familiar with Flask in a weekend -- start with the Quickstart and then go through the tutorial (http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/ http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/). You won't have to spend much time learning it or fighting with it -- you won't find yourself asking, "Will I be able to do what I want in the framework without hacking it?" Flask let's you program in Python rather than writing to the framework like you typically have to in larger, opinionated framework's like Django and Rails. Ironically, this also makes Flask an ideal choice for advanced Python programmers because it gives you flexibility rather than always wondering "will the framework allow me to easily do...?" BTW uwsgi is a production app server. For example nginx has a built-in uwsgi connector and you use uwsgi to serve Flask apps (see http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/deploying/ http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/deploying/), but it's not a framework like Django/Pyramid/Flask.
