Django 4.1 - Hackdot

Re:Django 4.1 by znpy on Wednesday August 03, 2022 @09:42AM (#32331544)

I remember watching a beautiful talk from some pycon whose details I can’t remember about using django as if it was a micro-framework.

It basically boils down to rejecting the folder structure that django-admin sets up for you, importing stuff yourself and doing some basic initialisation/configuration.

Once you do that, django kinda somehow behaves like a micro-framework, with the significant difference that you can import and use the advanced features if you want/need to.

Here is an example of a single file Django project I started around eight years ago that does what you mention:

I guess I prefer to keep it light and use a true microframework like flask for this use case. I find I can similarly import Flask extensions without bringing in a full heavy framework
