+1.  The Pocoo team makes many awesome things.

Jinja2 is a standalone templating engine, something like Smarty for
PHP.  And Flask is a microframework, which adds on top of Jinja2 (not
mandatory) and Werkzeug (another Pocoo project) to make a nice and
easy webdevelopment base.  IMO it is the best choice in terms of
microframeworks.

But microframeworks are, as the name states, micro.  The big
frameworks include tons of abstractions and fancy features.  Some
people may like them, others may not.  (Those features can obviously
be implemented in the microframeworks on one’s own or through existing
open-source code.)
