there's a thing known as a workflow engine, with extensive theory,
definitions, terminology, research and implementations. Check some of
theory in wikipedia[1].

as is common in Django, a very useful first stop is
djangopackages.com, where you can find a comparison grid of workflow
engines already created for Django[2]

some of them are quite capable, and even if miss something you would
like, they're not too hard to adapt, once you have the theory well
understood.

Of course, if you're new to Django, first you _have_ to do the
tutorial, or lots of things might not make sense.
