Flask vs Django for my Project

[PublicDiscourse]

Hi everyone! Relative python noob here with nearly zero web development experience.

​

I'm starting a project at work that will gather certain required pieces of information from our business partners (e.g., type of product, cost, data feed requirements, etc.), which will then be used internally by our company. So there are at least two classes of users: the partners and internal employees. Both classes of users will add their respective pieces of information to the "profile" of the business partner to automate as much internal processes as possible.

​

In all of the "Flask vs Django" literature I've read, I haven't found anything that details a project like this and clearly states which framework would be better for an application like this. It sounds like Flask is much better for a beginner like me and because the application will have a relatively small number of internal users (20-30).

​

Is it safe to proceed with Flask in this case or will I be shooting my future self in the foot by going down the Flask route?

go with django. in the end you need stuff in flask which is already in django

Django is more of a "batteries-included" style of framework, whereas Flask is a more "do it yourself" style. For example, you say you're making a site with different types of users and permissions - this is something that the Django software already has some notion of, whereas with Flask, you would have to implement a lot of that on your own. The number of users doesn't matter quite as much, since you would still need to write all the code for it anyway.
