I have to develop an API to manage data between my Database in PostGreSQL and my website in Django.
I'm actually looking for the best way to manage and transfer this data, what I actually found on different topics / sites is the Django Rest Framework to develop a Rest API in Django, here I would use a JavaScript framework for the front like React, Angular or VueJS (any tips about which one to choose ? ).
I was wondering if there was other solutions that would be interesting ? I've been searching about FTP or things like this.
Thanks,
Lucas
Like you said you need to send and retrieve information like name, contact, login detail etc related to user and their subscriptions.
In this case you don't have to think about FTP. It isn't related here. FTP is something that you'll use to transfer files without django.
With django you will have to use DRF (django rest framework) or use GraphQL along.
There is a package well known to use GraphQl called graphene
For front end part you can use anything according to your requirement and skillset.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

I have just learned python, and am beginning to make a web application using Django / DRF in the back end.
The back end would be similar to a CRUD, or just a CRUD actually, I'm not planning on doing too much processing on requests, but would be queuing jobs for another python script on the server to pick up when needed.
The API I'm building would need to manage a few different entities like Users, Packages, Transactions, Jobs etc, and I plan to manage all of these entities... no ... models... via a rest API.
Do I create an app for each model ? e.g. user_app, package_app, and transaction_app ? or should I create a single app to manage them all?
I'm torn between thinking of Django Apps as actual applications, or Bundles like in PHP/Symfony
There is no obligation to create a new app for every feature that depends on another part of the project logic.
But overall the more you divide into, the easier it will be in the future.
when the project updated and new features added it will be easy to manage it.
Also take a look at some open source projects.

I tried to use the Microsoft Graph API from the Request module in Python, but I was still new and didn't want to use Postman either. But I had a problem using the Request module:
How to select the application platform type?
How to fill in the redirect URL?
How to get refresher token and access token ?And how to renew(refresh) them?
How to get Tenant ID?
This is all my questions. I hope someone can help me solve them.
(This question by the machine translation, if there is a small mistake, also hope you understand.)
Congrats on your first question!
This is not a full answer that you might have been looking for, but take a look at the Microsoft Graph API docs
After you register your app and get authentication tokens for a user or service, you can make requests to the Microsoft Graph API.
Did you register your app? If not here are the docs
In your question it looks like you're describing the flow for get access on behalf of the user, but what you need is get access without a user. In order to use the API through the requests module you need to follow this tutorial

I'm diving into Django to create a webapp.
The thing is, I'm not sure if my app is too simple for what Django offers.
My app will download the latest CPI figures and convert your (monetary) dataset into inflation-adjusted figures, going way back in decades. The user pastes their data in via a textbox. It certainly won't need SQL.
I may want to expand the project with more features in future.
Is it advisable to go with a more lightweight framework for something as simple as I've described?
Every framework has its pros and cons. There are many different frameworks. Personally I prefer Flask but it is all personal preference. Here are some articles that help describe the differences:
https://www.airpair.com/python/posts/django-flask-pyramid
https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/1yr8v5/django_vs_flask/
https://www.hakkalabs.co/articles/django-and-flask
A webapp like the one you describe sounds like most of the work can happen on the client side, without sending the data back to server. From what it sounds like, you simply need to make a few calculations and present the data in a new way.
For this I don't recommend Django, which is ideal for serving pages and managing relational DB content, but not really useful for client side work.
I'd recommend AngularJS

I need to create a website using python but without Django or any other framework, since the website I need to create ts very custom (at the back-end level specially) like having a dashboard after login and stuff like that.
I want to know what are the best practices and/or tutorials that can help me in such a situation.
I began to work with Django 3 months ago in a company. In my opinion this framework is very useful because you avoid to write a lot of HTML code and came with a lot of tools to automate the creation of many parts of the web and the database. Django allows you to use different databases.
I recommend you to visit Django Website and see the overview and the installation. The difficulties for the beginners are to understand the use of views,templates,urls... but in the web site you have a 6 steps tutorial that make a very good introduction, anyways you must get some more information like this Django Book but is almost the same than the tutorial but more extense.
I didn't work with Python until I began to use Django, and I have to say that now I love the dynamism of Python, is fast and easy to understand.
I hope this can help you a little
Using a framework like Django will start you right into developing your application. They you intend to work will cost you years of work to create your own web application infrastructure without getting anything useful.
The strength of Python is the availability of countless modules, packages and frameworks to build upon. Without there you will be getting nowhere.

Web2py looks like a very nice Python framework but I am wondering if it is suitable to use for a large public web site. What sorts of issues might I run into? I'm not worried about technical scalability so much as UI/UX limitations, ability to connect other components, etc.
web2py is a very capable web server application framework. UI/UX (User interface / Experience) limitations does not arises usually from a server framework.
There are quite a number of free application that demonstrates it's capabilities:
http://www.web2py.com/appliances
If you want to compare it with other server frameworks, there are quite a few documents out there that you can read on.
Django, Turbo Gears, Web2Py, which is better for what?
The following discussion should add to information here
Anyone out there using web2py?
You have to be more specific to make a judgement or evaluate a server framework than what you have mentioned.
[Edit: based on comments]
While the examples in the link provided by mdipierro may not inspire confidence with regard to desired UI/UX solutions. It would be premature to consider that because of web2py or any other server framework. It might point to the fact that all these are implemented by a resource constrained team.
You might take a look at this list of sites powered by web2py.
