Come one, even scientific work will require a front end at some point. Not everything will be CPU intensive. And even if it is it may need some user interaction to get the task started - even if it is just uploading data to be processed offline.
But you don't need the scientific code inside your Django app—it should live in a separate process. What I'm saying is there is no need to have the scientific code directly inside the Django app.
There are plenty of web based scientific apps. Genome browsers for example. Why would you have those in a separate process, when its essentially a crud app?
