You could certainly do this in TG, I've done something similar for a client. But, I would say that 3 weeks would be might fast for someone new to TG and related frameworks. If the pylons app mentioned on that list has enough cross over for your needs, that might be the best way to go. I haven't used Django in while, but maybe that might be a good bet if you think the backend can just be the Django admin system. I think it depends on how important the timeline is. My hunch is that if it *must* be 3 weeks, then you'd be best using Django and not doing anything extra to the admin, or modifying the pylons app. If you can wait longer, I find TG's widget and form validation system nicer. But it takes longer to learn. Hope that sort of helps!
