Fair warning in advance - while this approach should _mostly_ work, Django doesn't currently have any support for the MySQL Polygon types, so you may encounter some difficulties with that field. You may find it necessary to 'tweak' the models produced by inspectdb, and it will probably be necessary to define a custom Field type to represent the Polygon data. Queries on the polygon data will also be somewhat restricted. Since Django doesn't have support for a Polygon field, it doesn't contain any helpful query language specific to Polygons, either. However, if you're willing to drop to raw SQL occasionally, you should be able to use Django to manage the basic framework of the application you are describing.
