Django has a "batteries-included" philosophy, with a fully-functional ORM out of the box, session handling, a default admin portal, url handling, middleware, and more. As a framework, it is accessible to beginners yet scalable to production demands.
As they put it, Django is "ridiculously fast, fully-loaded, reassuringly secure, exceedingly scalable, and incredibly versatile."
