Django is good for this sort of thing, but I=92d also like to mention = using Flask (http://flask.pocoo.org), especially if you are a beginner. = I use it for some of my work, and you could potentially get your project = up and running that much quicker since it is a fairly light-weight web = framework. The only thing is you=92ll be missing out on some of the more = convenient features that Django introduces.
