This isn't the best way to describe Django. Django isn't a CMS. However, it is a magnificent toolkit with which you can build a CMS. It's also a magnificent tool for building any number of other web-based applications. > Is it > possible to use it for the purpose I have?

There may be some Django applications out there that you will be able to reuse to make the job easier. There might even be a turn-key solution - you'll need to do some searching to find out if any of the tools in the community meet your requirements. Of course, the same is true of PHP, and any other Python framework. Some frameworks (e.g., Plone) are more CMS-like at the cost of general flexibility. PHP is just a language for building web apps; language and programming model differences aside, there's not going to be that much difference between building your tool in PHP and building your tool in Django. If you need a solution _right now_, then I suspect your best options are to try and find a turn-key solution that meets your requirements, or to stick to what you know. However, if you have some time at your disposal, and you're interested in learning a new tool, Django is certainly capable of doing what you describe.
