In my experience I can say Django is light on memory (compared to Wordpress
at least). I would also say that 100MB is plenty as mentioned by Mikhail.
Did a little study recently where freshly started 21 apache instances would
take 60 MiB, when all of our sites were hit it jumped 240 MiB --- see it
here http://blog.klinsight.com/2012/04/apache-prefork-vs-woker.html
Furthermore for simplicity I would serve both your static and Django from
the same apache instance using mod_wsgi; and use SQLite3 as the database -
you don't need a different database unless you are doing a large number of
congruent writes. I have site with 700 active users and 15,000 page hits per
month and not once did we get yet the SQLite3 write time out error and
performance tests show homepage loaded within 1 second:

Subject: Min requirements for running django?
Hi all,
I am investigating hosting solutions for django apps, and would like to
query the community on the requirements they have experienced to do so
properly. On a machine that would only run django-related processes, how
much RAM? Also, any tips on how to best set it up would be much appreciated.
:) e.g., separate django, media, database servers, etc, is it overkill?

Thanks much in advance!
