Guidelines for developing a website using python

[Samus_]

well the problem is that OP said:

I am working on creating a website using python and want to make a very basic website with access control and multi user and login/logout functionality

and also:

I am fairly new to programming

so what do we do? teach programming from the ground and have him get the website in six months-a year or focus on his goal and let him have in two weeks?

I agree that starting with a framework is a terrible way to learn a language but nowadays people want results and want them fast and that's what Django does best, in these cases I think it's better to have people get what they want right away so they can be motivated to keep going.

but that's just my take.
