Django vs Flask

Hii there , I am new to Python but I have got prior programming experience.I have some questions to ask:

  1. I am currently learning Python basics but I feel very boring because all those basic concepts are taught so can I jump directly to some project using Python?
  2. I have heard about the two python frameworks Django and Flask but I don't know what is the use of both?

Hiya there again! Flask and Django both are web development frameworks written in Python. But Django feels like a full framework coz its fulfills the definition of a framework. Django has follows pythonic way of MVC architecture. But Flask too. Flask has relatively smaller footprint of a framework. You might end up with using a lots of dependencies and third party libraries with Flask which kinda bothers me a lot coz dependencies dont react well with each others. So its hard to debug. But if you have something medium sized project in mind, i'd rather use Flask as compared to Django, just coz Flask is more light weight than Django. But this is all just my opinion.
