If you stick to Django, you probably want to look at http://www.django-rest-framework.org/ for the backend.

Am developing two mid-size apps using DRF and Angular. DRF has proved to be quite easy to work with.

I personally find DRF to be my as nice to work with as Django itself. If I can get away with not using it, I avoid it.

Yeah, you will need only a small REST interface for the single page app ...

Would you rather use anything else? Flask for instance?

[detaro]

I feel like that is a matter of personal taste and what your data sources are behind it. Flask makes it easier to do whatever you want, but you also have to do many things by hand, where Django has an included "right" way of doing them.
