Your data would be slightly out of date (not including "today"'s data) but I would think it's an acceptable compromise (your situation may vary). Once you get around to writing a DB frontend, newer web framework projects like TurboGears, when combined with a DataGrid, or using DBSprockets/DBMechanic, can make this a lot easier than it would have been even a couple of years ago. I'm sure Django has similar ways of simplifying this, but I haven't used it much. In the meantime, to cheer yourself up, consider the following: It could be worse, they could be using MS Access!
