Python

Is Flask a substitute of Django?

I've been following the Python courses and also learning Django by myself but it happens that I want to choose one Framework and become very good at it, could anyone tell me some pros and cons between Flask and Django?

Flask isn't a substitute for Django 100% of the time but it's often a better choice than Django, especially when building something small or with a very well-defined scope. No one framework is going to be the right choice 100% of the time, so I don't see the point in learning one at the expense of all others, personally.

Thank you Kenneth!
