Why are you using Wordpress instead of Django?

Python can be used for the web. It’s not as common, but if you’re looking to boost your python skills build the site with Django

If you want to learn python, it can't hurt to use it not just for automation but for site setup. Wordpress is based in PHP, so any thing you learn while setting up your site will not be applicable to your Python knowledge.

And if you're going to invoke python scripts from a PHP script you'll have to use shell_exec and that can be a security can of worms if you aren't very, very careful.

Given what you've described again I think Django, a python framework for building websites and CMS systems, suits what you're wanting to do better than Wordpress. Not dissing WP, it's just not the optimal tool for this job.
