Using a CMS for small site?

Hello
Someone I know with no computer knowledge has a studio appartment to
rent in Paris and spent four months building a small site in Joomla to
find short-time renters.
The site is just...
- a few web pages that include text (in four languages) and pictures
displayed in a Flash slide show
- a calendar to show availability
- a form to send e-mail with anti-SPAM support
- (ASAP) online payment
Out of curiosity, are there CMS/frameworks in Python that can do this?
Django? Other?
Is a full-fledged CMS even needed for something like that?
Thank you.

something that a person with "no computer knowledge" could set up, but
once it's set up, that person could use it to build pages.
But, to be honest, for somebody who really doesn't know anything, some
much more pre-canned solution like WordPress might be what they're
looking for.

You probably want to look at https://www.django-cms.org/. It's not

Thanks for the input. Considering that contents won't change, I was

wondering if a full-fledged CMS was even necessary.

If the content is truly never going to change, there's nothing to
prevent you from creating some static html files with your favorite text
editor.
This is really getting quite far afield for a Python group. There are
better forums for these kinds of questions.

Probably. I'll keep that in mind while checking Python web frameworks.

Not necessarily! There are several static site generators written in

There is also "Plone" ("http://plone.org") -- easy to set up.

You likely need third party extensions for the "anti-SPAM" support
and the onlie payment.
Unfortunately, "Plone" is quite resource hungry -- especially it wants
quite some memory.

Actually with Plone 4 (and 4.2 in particular) that is becoming less

true, I recently shrunk http://aclark.net to a 256MB vhost on rackspace
