I'm a newbie to Python, but not programming. However, my problem is replacing an antiquated web-based classroom-attendance oriented software app.
If you are looking at python, you have a lot of choices.
The first choice is which database to use, object-oriented, or relational. If you choose relational, then django is the mainstream choice. If you choose object oriented, then you can consider ZODB. It stores a persistent network of objects. Which leads to either the Zope 3 / ZTFY.org web framework, or else pyramid. Pyramid is good for simpler applications, as they get more complicated, I would recommend ztfy.org. and wiki.ztfy.org Better yet, just get a complete school application at schooltool.org built on top of zope 3, very easy to make any customizations you want, that is the greatest strength of Zope 3.
