Re: Django for data management in a no-UI application?

I think I failed to explain my situation clearly, and I need to try again.

I have been planning to develop a standard web application using Django. Due to a change in direction, the development plan has been changed to:

1. Develop a suite of no-GUI applications that run in a command line window on a server. One other application will run on clients in a command line window, and will perform certain operations on the server through a REST API service. However,
2. All of the applications will use an SQL database that runs on the server.
3. In a later phase of the project, the server applications will be combined and modified to present a GUI.

My question is this: Is it feasible to make all of the server applications use Django to communicate with the database server in step 1, and then use it to implement the GUI in step 3? By doing so, I would avoid having to (1) code all of the database operations without Django in step 1, then recode them with Django in step 3, or (2) end up with a "hybrid" application that implements the GUI in Django but the database operations outside Django.

I haven't looked at the "Django REST" link yet, but I appreciate the suggestion. The project will require a REST API, as I mentioned, although most of the applications will run on the server, and will not need an API.
