Hi group, as the subject says, I'm new to Django. I worked through some tuturials and djangobook.com for the 1.0.2 version as far as there already is documentation. Anyway, I'm still not certain Django is the right answer to my needs.
What I want to do: I need to write a web based admin frontend to a OSS based mail gateway that consist the usual suspects (Postfix, SA, antivir, some custom scripts, you name it). There are already some frontends to some of those tools but there's always some functionality or tools missing. I need to be able to configure ALL those apps in a consistent front end (including the customers corporate design/identity) which basically means editing config textfiles (but hiding them from the user), (re)starting services, start scripts, show status of services, check input for sanity, you get it. What I have: Knowledge of the underlaying OSS apps as mentioned above. Thirst for knowledge. I like Python. What I don't have: My programming background is, well, outdated (assembler and turbo pascal back in the 80s). SQL skill is very limited. HTML/CSS/webstuff knowledge not existent. Time is somewhat limited. My first question is, is Django the right tool to accomplish my task? I'm a bit uncertain. If yes, are there any Django apps I could use for template/guideline that already do what I need? If Django is not what I need, are there any recommendations considering my state of knowledge?
