Well as I said previously Django won't do what you want. It is just a framework. However a Django application might, Django-Cms is what I would look into.
Josh, You are correct that I don't need a framework, but a tool to manage content and allow me to do more with the site. I've looked very closely at Drupal, but was told that local developers consider it to have a very steep initial learning curve. More exploration this morning turned up Elxis (http://www.elxis.com/). That looks ideal for me.
Oh come on, there are a lot more reasons than that to not learn MySQL :P
Well, sure. I've used postgres for more than a dozen years and use sqlite for single-user, embedded applications.
Well, a true CMS you don't have to learn the language.
True.
Drupal has a huge community around it. It has a ton of modules. The PostgreSQL Conference site for example is in Drupal. I would prefer it be Python and Pylons or something but I would never have to the time to get it deployed as I have with Drupal.
See above. I'm down to Drupal and Elxis. Converting my static web pages to be part of a CMS-run site is a whole new experience. I'm slowing realizing what I can do that would add value to site visitors; I'm sure that there are many more benefits that I don't know exist.
