But complexity typically brings in an extra overhead that the OP might
not need. I'm using turbogears for a project but for other simple
things I don't, because the all the super powerful infrastructure of
turbogears is just not necessary and slows things down without a
reason.

So I would recommend the OP against using either django or turbogears
if the project is really small and will stay small in the future. This
last point is hard to guess in advance though :)
