It's hard to say. While Django /is/ suitable, it's also large. If you don't know
it already, you might not want to learn it just for this. It's possible Flask
would be a better choice, since it's smaller and (I think) easier. (Note: I'm a
Django developer, and I'm not a Flask developer.)
So I think it's mostly a question of what you want: Why do you want to do this
project? Is it commercial? Is it a hobby? Is it something you do because you
find it appealing? If it's something like a hobby, pick up whatever seems more
fun to you.

Hi all. I am a rather new Python learner, although I've made the following
script:
https://github.com/prater-devin/src/blob/main/lunch/lunch.py
<https://github.com/prater-devin/src/blob/main/lunch/lunch.py>
I want to turn this into a central place where students can get not just the
lunch menu, but also other menus, upcoming events, things like that, but not
much more than that. So, in order to bypass the need for submitting to the App
Store because this isn't that big of an app, I decided to go with web
development instead. Since I already know Python, enough to make that simple
program at least, I thought I'd just use Django to make this.
Now, I've also tried using Beeware to make an actual app, and that seems easy
compared to getting started with Django, but I don't want to disregard Django
just because Beeware is easier. Plus Beeware doesn't seem to have web app
creation support yet. So, any ideas? How hard would it be to take something
like that simple code, probably for the backend more than frontend, and
enhance it, mainly adding more requests to a URL, then getting text using BS4,
then showing it on the app? I imagine tabs at the bottom of the screen for
"menus", "vending machines", and "events and news." Stuff like that, then the
main content in the middle, then buttons at the top to change between menu
sources on the menus tab and such. So, not that much interaction I'd think.
So, what do you all think? Thanks for any help.
