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".) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
