My main reason for moving to Django was scalability and functionality.

The PHP +MySQL project that I'd started worked well as a standalone application, but further development on the project would have required an exponential increase in development, and I couldn't commit to that.

The way it is set up now in Django, it's modular, and scalable. It's also much easier for someone other than myself to understand. That's the key thing in it for me. Should I scale up the project, it is going to be much easier for me to get other people to join in. The other great thing about Django, is that I can pull in other peoples modules easily, so it lends itself more to a community project.

Problem Solved :)
