Can not recommend Flask enough, just for sheer simplicity. Really puts the fun back into making a web app and getting that MVP deployed.
Flask's eco-system is great, but not as extensive as Django's IMO. And Flask itself is definitely more bare-bones, which means there's less crud, but sometimes that crud comes in handy.
Flask and Django share quite a few similarities though. So worst case if you find yourself wanting things from Django's eco-system, you can go from Flask to Django without too much hassle (relatively speaking). Don't know why you would, or expect you will, but nice to know it wouldn't require a full re-write.
