web server for low-load https

web server for low-load https

I'm interested in using flask as the basis for internal (to my tiny
company) database-backed operations (invoicing, customer database,
etc.) and am looking for recommendations on a "stack".

A few points:

o very low load (not performance critical)
o need secure login and session management
o need encryption for all traffic (https)
o want to work with something that is small and adequate rather than
big and complex
o currently using a mixture of perl for reporting and some
applications and old oracle forms for user interface
o current database is oracle
o want to replace the oracle forms with postgresql and a web interface
o i have a degree in comp sci ('85) and tend to like sticking to 
the command line, but realize a web interface is the most portable (no
installation required)
o I have done a bit of python since around 199?
o Have played with Ruby/Rails but its too complicated and mysterious
for me

Thanks.

Apache with mod_wsgi + Flask with sqlalchemy should fit your needs.
