Just use sqlite, that gets rid of any complication/overhead of running a service based db, and will cover auth stuff. Django really isn't meant to run from flat files (there is a cheat using django flatpages) but that's so you can edit through the web. But yes this might be more than you need and you could look at Pyramid/Pylons which less stuff to begin with.
