Flask vs Django: source lines of code compared

As of 2026-05-18, pallets/flask contains 34,130 total lines (25,615 code) across 210 files, while django/django contains 1,103,877 total lines (715,341 code) across 6,777 files as of 2026-08-18. django/django is about 28x 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.

Methodology: both counts come from cached OctoCounts reports generated with tokei. pallets/flask was counted at ref main (commit 9fcd34c9f306) on 2026-05-18; django/django was counted at ref main (commit d992705f9eb5) on 2026-08-18. See the counting methodology for ignored directories and analysis options.

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.
