Is that supposed to be a plus? Sounds like a nightmare. The smart way to do this is to build a simple wxpython application that consumes django web services to CRUD data. You can build your reporting tools using django, use the built-in admin, etc, whilst exposing only the minimum of web services to allow your app to enter information into the system. I have a number of non-web django processes, so I'm not against that in general. However, installing a full LAMP/WAMP stack, django and all required packages onto a single users machine, and have them enter data via their browser to their personal django instance is crazy. Not only will maintenance be disaster, but you have no data consistency - each user has their own stack, including DB. If you have each machine connecting to a shared database, well that is even worse, as each user would be able to discern credentials which they can use to access the DB and meddle directly.
