python-django for dynamic web survey?

[chip9munk]

Hi guys!

Please help me with your advices and ideas.

I need to create a web survey that will dynamically (randomly) select
questions and descriptions from a dataset, present them to users,
collect their answers and store them back in the dataset. (Every user
gets different set of questions randomly selested from the pool.)

Since I am very inexperienced with this stuff I want to ask you if you
thing that python (which I use) and django (which I have never used
before) would be a good way to do this easily? I have seen there are
some django survey and crowdsourcing librarires...

What do you think? Is there an easier way?
I would like some fast, clean, modifyAndDoNotCodeFromScratch solution.

Thanks!

Django makes your life a lot easier in many ways, but you still need some
time to learn it.
The task you're trying it's not trivial though, depending on your
experience it might take a while with any library/framework..

I have an overall experience with languages, frameworks etc. I was
hoping to get some simple example and than modify it to do what I need
it to do.

How random do the questions need to be? Is a handful or two different

combinations sufficient? Can you manually create these different surveys
using, for example, surveymonkey, and distribute them?

There are a lot possible combinations and questions so I would have to
create a large number of them, so I guess automatic generation is a
better way.

Thanks for the idea anyway!
