This is pretty much the "node" way of doing things and an untapped market for Django. It will probably remain untapped, while the development server remains deemed "not production ready" and has no "production equivalent" in behavior (i.e.: be quiet, daemonize).

There's plenty of applications that are built as a "website", and a GUI that is nothing more than a QTWebkit application window, with hidden toolbars and pointing to localhost:preconfigured_port.

As outlined above, you're treading in new ground. The Django part is easy, even having a pre-set settings.py can be done and a pre-filled SQLite database can be shipped as well. The hard part is to fire it up and shutdown when you need it to.

Is this for presentation of a new website or for an stand-alone application?
