well, django is a web application, so its definitely not suitable for making a standalone desktop application that you install and run.  Its meant to run on a server, handling HTTP requests and processing the data and returning a response.  That doesn't run in a desktop container application

however, if you're referring to an API that can be used both by desktop browsers as well as mobile devices or applications, then yes indeed, django is an excellent option for this.

Hi.

Even django is a web app development framework you can use some parts if it to develop desktop apps.

But as pointed out you might get much further with developing api with django and use that api in your desktop or mobile app.

Hi Muhammad,

we do write and maintain desktop applications for our customers using Django. But before feeling able to offer this we wrote Lino, a kind of "intrusive" Django application which replaces the Admin by a new desktop-like user interface (currently based on ExtJS). It also replaces the permissions system by a class-based approach. Because of its intrusiveness we consider it a framework based on Django. Our first production site went alive in January 2011. We believe that Lino has a bright future and should be used by other companies as well.

I have created something similar to this.  My setup is a 2 system IntrAnet ( not Internet). One system is being used as a web server running Nginx & Django with a Mariadb database.  I also had to install a wireless router.  The server system is using the Django Admin system as there are only 2 users.

From your description this could be system with one server and many clients connecting to it if they are in range of the router as in my case the client is just using Firefox web browser to connect to the server.

Does your school have WiFi available? If it does then this would be a snap to setup with the Django server.

Good luck.
