Without wishing to dampen your enthusiasm, it seems like you are putting 
the cart before the horse here if the goal is "build a web portal". 
Could it be that the real goal is to learn Python, and the web portal is 
a vehicle for that?

If not then you should use one of many already-extant web portals (you 
could surely find one written in Python if necessary) rather than 
developing one from scratch? Nuxeo comes to mind, but they've now 
switched from Python to Java ...
