Re: n00b question - using Django for web services

Django is an option, you may also want to look at the Django REST Framework too ( http://www.django-rest-framework.org ).

If you want to do something really simple you might want to look at Flask ( http://flask.pocoo.org ), it is another python based web framework, 'lighter' than Django but it does a lot less.
