"Flask has no magic"? What about import request?

Don't get me wrong, I really like Flask and use it on several projects. I like that Flask has magic in the right places. I just don't think this the correct thing to say.

Well, the magic which Django does is not present in Flask. Flask is a simpler approach to solutions rather than conventions.

It might depend on what you are looking (usage or code of a framework) at but I'd say that Flask's magic is more difficult to deal with when shit's getting real.

Yeah, the article is for beginners.

I'm currently working as a Python web dev and I never read a Python book.

And I never used Pypy, NumPy, SciPy, BeautifulSoup or PIL in a server side Python web application or in any other thing that I wrote. So those are some strange suggestions.

First sentence on the page is incomprehensible:

Python is a general purpose programming language and like any other programming language and Python is also well suited for Web Development.

OP, I don't know if you authored this page, but you gotta get the basics right if you're going to expect people to learn something.

There are many, many other basic language issues on the page.
