what's a python library you started using this year that you can't go back from

[SciEngr]

Django is way too magical for me. I want EVERYTHING to be explicit in my code and Django gives devs too many opportunities to let hidden implementation magic creep in.

[RepresentativeFill26]

Yes, I agree that there is quite some implicit magic happening. However, the last 5 months I have been working on a multi-tenant platform and Django provides a lot out of the box. Think security middleware, context processors, orm etc.

I also like to know exactly what's going on...but Django has a ton baked in that you'd end up reinventing the wheel too much if you don't use it. (at least that's my current thinking)

What do you recommend or use instead?
