I was very new to python and its frameworks a couple months ago and ran into a similar roadblock. For my first site I used Django and it was very time consuming and understanding the file structure took me a long time (mostly due to the fact that I was very impatient at the time due to time constraints). Anyway, I made another website a few weeks later and decided to use the Flask framework and it was better suited for my small site.
If I could do it again I would have used Flask for both(although I did learn a lot about Django which is a good skill to have) mainly because they are smaller sites. Django(as I understand from input from multiple professors) is best suited for larger sites and it sounds to me like a lighter frame work such as flask would better suit you. Again both of my sites were/are fairly small(one 8 page site that does some data querying with a postgresql db(Django), and the other about 15 pages that did logins and data manipulation and file uploads(Flask)) and I don't plan on expanding on those in a great way anytime soon. Let me know if you have any questions. On Sunday, December 13, 2015 at 9:34:05 AM UTC-5, Tourmaster wrote: > > I'm a tour operator scheduling 3 trips a day.
