Just use sqlite, that gets rid of any complication/overhead of running a
service based db, and will cover auth stuff. Django really isn't meant
to run from flat files (there is a cheat using django flatpages) but
that's so you can edit through the web.

But yes this might be more than you need and you could look at
Pyramid/Pylons which less stuff to begin with.
