For your case, especially using the Django ORM, no reason whatsoever.

Or, ok, there may be a reason, South used to not play so well with MySQL/MariaDB, this has improved over time but still may be a reason to use PostgreSQL

(Or just don't bother and use SQLite, depending on your case it may be just fine)

South still regularly complains at me for not using Postgress.

Yes, it complains, still, I'm not sure how much is truly "PostgreSQL is better" and how much is South not caring/not working around some issues.

Or even how much is limitations on the Python or Django DB drivers (two separate things)
