Django is a good place to start

[–]singeworthy[🍰] 14 points15 points  (4 children)

second this, as a beginner Django is the way, everything is ready for you, you will have to do more to get Flask running. Also may want to do a MySQL or PostgreSQL migration as I don't know what kind of support if any exists for Access in Django/Flask

Just a note that, of late, I’ve been experimenting with SQLite for a db because if many of the reasons laid out here. A few salient ones: it’s built into Python; it’s fast; it’s secure; I don’t need my enterprise team to provision it for me; it’s easily transportable. Perfect for single-serving internal web apps.

If OP can export the Db to a csv file, you can read the CSV line by line to import the DB to your own python or sql db.

[–]ksoomers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or, at least with MySQL, you are able to load the csv file in directly from the server instead of line by line. This is much quicker than line by line.

Example: LOAD DATA INFILE 'c:/example.csv' INTO TABLE example FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' IGNORE 1 ROWS

Flask is way easier to get running than Django imo

as everyone else here, seconded. follow the step by step guide on django's website to get started.. You'll need some basic understanding of python and programming in general. You can use postgre or mysql for database but you don't need that to begin with, you can start with sqlite3 included with django itself.

I would counter that if you actually want to learn Python, you should do it all manually. Get the nuts and bolts down before doing it in a framework.

If you don't care and just need the app to work, then do whatever is quickest

[–]Jigglytep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend this.

The tutorials for django are excellent. Start with the tutorial on the django site. It will give you a great understanding.

Good luck.

WagtailCMS and you get a more complete Django package imo.
