It's not clear to me from your description that you want a web app. Does the management app run on a server or is it something that individual users run on their own machines? If the app runs on a server then a web framework can be very helpful. I like Django a lot but there are many other choices. If users run the app on their individual computers then you should look at one of the GUI toolkits like Tkinter or wxPython. > Have you ever done anything like that, and how did you go about doing > it?

I have used Django and matplotlib to create charts and display them in a web page. There is a simple example here: http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Django Both Tkinter and wxPython are supported by matplotlib directly.
