you will first need to learn many skills that it seems you don't have.

You say you can write html -- that is good

Can you set up and administer a web server such as apache?  if not, you
probably have 1 to 6 months of learning there

Once you learn python you will also need to learn a web framework  - may
take you a week to 6 months to learn this to the level you would require.
I'm betting on 6 months at least

Finally, you need to collect all of that information you wish you make
available.  That in itself is a huge undertaking

To be perfectly honest, this is much too large a project for you.  First
read some python tutorials and learn how to code in python.  If you work it
every day, maybe you can kind of understand what its about in a very
superficial sense in a month.  However, if you are having fun learning,
then add a new small piece to learn.

Good luck
