It seems that you already have a PostgreSQL database storing this data.

That existing database can be accessed without Django. You could talk
directly using the ‘psycopg2’ library, but you don't have to go that
far.

I would recommend you use SQLAlchemy as a good and flexible way to
access existing databases (or make new ones) in a Pythonic manner
<URL:http://www.sqlalchemy.org/>. If you are using a free-software
operating system, you will likely already have packages available to
install SQLAlchemy from your operating system's package repositories.
