I cannot understand is why would you need django for admin, but use some
other standalone (desktop?) application for everything else. You should
try and stay either on the django or on the standalone application.
If after further analysis you still think you need both, then I'd use
django, along with a rest api such as Django REST framework (www.
django-rest-framework.org) or Tastypie (tastypieapi.org).
You might also ant to make use of kivy (kivy.org) for the user interface.
