I'd like that misconception to finally be dispelled. In spite of being installed as an apparently single entity, Django is modular. You can use SQLAlchemy and Jinja2 with Django, and you can use Django's ORM all by itself, or its templating system standalone. You can use Django without manage.py, and while the only actual requirement is settings.py, that is in the process of being done with.
