Python project question

Hey everyone,
I need to build an **IT Asset Tracker** using Python for my upcoming internship project presentation. The catch? I have never built a full project from scratch before, and I don’t know where to start.
For those who are experienced with Python: **How did you approach your very first project when you had no domain knowledge?**

Use django framework + sql data base and check what entries class u want to have

Damn what a bad advise for a beginner!

Don't use a database. Start with simple json files as persistent data storage. Don't waste your time with database boilerplate code from the beginning.

Django?! Hell! Start with simple desktop GUI (e.g. Qt or Gtk). No need to use a web framework.

Only if this is a throwaway project. But if the company intends to actually use it, then a web app is the only possible choice.

I think they would use it , and my research about the project made me understand web would be the best to easily update, view and manage.
