Which encyclopedia framework to choose?

Question

Web development

Purpose: to create a site similar to an online encyclopedia on a narrow subject area for specialists.
Functionality: on the front end - a search string, authorization, a personal account with the ability to exchange messages between users, on the back end - a database.
I am engaged in science, I am satisfied with the profession, I do not plan to retrain as a programmer, therefore the factors "number of vacancies on the market", "what is fashionable", "what salaries" are not important. There is a desire to understand what-how it works and accompany the project, so I don’t want to order from the side. There are basics of html, css, sql, python.
Question: what technologies / frameworks to study for the successful implementation of a specific task? There is time to study, so the option "on the knee and quickly" at the beginning and painfully in the future is undesirable. From a variety of frameworks, eyes run wide. The obvious answer - python frameworks - turned out to be non-obvious, I'm looking for an alternative.
