To add to the Flask recommendation: I teach adults (mostly; one of my
students is in high school) to use Python, SQLAlchemy, and Flask,
putting together a classic dynamic web site model. (I also use Flask
myself for a couple of sites, and I like it; but that recommendation
is weak because I don't have much experience with *other* frameworks.
So all it means is "Flask hasn't majorly annoyed me".)
