Seriously why bother? http://www.wxpython.org/
The whole front end of django is too web-centric. So the only thing that might be of use is if you have an existing web application which heavily uses the django ORM and you want back end consistency with a desktop GUI application that shares thee same database. Writing an application with wx-python is less time consuming than dealing with css+html you wont have the same issues to consider when thinking about security. wx-python is a 2-3 week learning curve to become proficient and lots of tutorials out there.
