Flask vs Django: source lines of code compared

This page compares the source lines of code (SLOC) of pallets/flask and django/django using cached OctoCounts reports. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.

As of 2026-08-26, pallets/flask contains 12,777 total lines (10,176 code) across 61 files, while django/django contains 543,623 total lines (392,744 code) across 3,582 files as of 2026-09-08. django/django is about 39x the size of pallets/flask by code lines. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.

Top languages in pallets/flask: Python (78.7% of code), ReStructuredText (14.5% of code), TOML (3.3% of code). Top languages in django/django: PO File (60.8% of code), Python (31.1% of code), Modelica (5.6% of code). Python, CSS appear in both top language lists; ReStructuredText, TOML, HTML appear only in pallets/flask's top languages; PO File, Modelica, JavaScript appear only in django/django's top languages.

Methodology: both counts come from cached OctoCounts reports generated with tokei. pallets/flask was counted at ref main (commit d318b6834711) on 2026-08-26; django/django was counted at ref 802baf5da5b8d8b44990a8214a43b951e7ab8b39 (commit 802baf5da5b8) on 2026-09-08.

Evidence and next steps:

Note: code size is not code quality. OctoCounts only reports reproducible line counts and makes no claim that either project is better.

Compare FAQ

Which has more lines of code, pallets/flask or django/django?

django/django has more code: 392,744 code lines versus 10,176 for pallets/flask, about 39x as much, based on cached OctoCounts reports as of 2026-09-08.

Does more source lines of code mean more complexity?

Not necessarily. SLOC measures size, not complexity, quality, or maintainability. A larger codebase can mean more features, more generated or vendored code, more verbose language idioms, or more tests — none of which imply the code is harder to work with. Use SLOC to gauge the scale of what you'd be reading or maintaining, not as a quality signal for pallets/flask, django/django, or any repository.

How is this comparison calculated?
