Easy to use WYSIWYG Python CMS? And where to host it?
Hello,
I am currently planning on building a website that will perform some calculations and incorporate some graphs / charts, however, since my coding is limited to Python and HTML and since I'm not that experienced, I would like to use a Python based CMS to make the job easier and more efficient.
Ones that I have looked at so far are Django CMS and Mezzanine.
My questions for you guys are:
-
Which CMS that I mentioned or that you have used is similar to something like WordPress? I want something very WYSIWYG where I can easily implement Python programs.
-
What is a great place to cheaply host a site built on your Python CMS of choice?
Thank you so much guys in advance, I've been doing a lot of research but I trust the reddit community will have some great advice!

Mezzanine can do more out-of-box compared to Django. If you got a blog, Mezzanine is a better choice.
Digital Ocean is fast and cheap. You’ll need to know some basic ssh commands to setup and maintain.
Would you say mezzanine will be good for a website that uses a lot of data and makes considerable amounts of calculations?
Digital Ocean is the one I have been looking at also.
You get that anyway from Python. Mezzanine just adds the CMS portion which is page content control. In my opinion the calculations part is outside of what any CMS does.
Ah great. I'll have to look into all three of the ones mentioned here to see which one is best for me.
As far as implementing my own python programs does mezzanine make this easier compared to django cms?
