Re: django with no relational db?

You do lose a lot without a relational DB: model forms, auth, admin. I think sessions should work as long as you do not use the DB backend.

You could try django-nonrel: http://django-nonrel.org/ I have never tried it myself but from the documentation it seems to keep a lot more of the functionality of Django than just using Django without a relational DB.

There are plenty of other Python frameworks. Flask is worth a look.

You may get a better answer if we knew why you are using the file system and nosql.

 I am building an app with no relational DB. All data will be in flat files now and nosql dbs in future.

 I plan to use django-tastypie for rest api and mostly pure python from rest api code to connect to file system and non relational backend python api. I do not plan to use Django ORM.

 I will have web pages, d3.js, authenticated users and sessions.

 1) Is it even possible to use Django without relational DB?

 I noticed many of Django's core app like auth and session depend on having relational DB. Am i correct?

 2) Does it even make sense to use Django here? Is Django appropriate technology/framework to use here? or any other python alternatives I should look at?
