that is known as the 'django way' - set up the admin (within 24 hours  
of your talk with them) - tell them you want them to enter *real*  
data to test functionality. Keep twiddling with admin to satisfy  
their needs. In no time they'll be hooked. It is just marketing - and  
you have a great product to market. I have client where I did this -  
they have a shiny php server for their needs, i built a django app  
for them. Time came when they wanted the app on their server - six  
months of data already on my 'test' server. Their guy said he would  
add python and postgresql for 1000 euro per year. They went and  
bought a webfaction account for 10 Euro per month. Webfaction django  
hosting rocks.
