Good tools for animated maps on a web page

Question

I want to represent regions on a map inside a web page. The region should be clickable and highlighted when it hangs. I use django, so I tend to focus on the words matplotlib and other python tools.

There are interesting projects on the Internet:

• thematic display
• polymaps
• geodjango seems complicated
• this blog shows a wonderful way to display data on maps using matplotlib and descartes

The problem is that I don’t know where to specify GeaJson data regarding countries and regions.

Does anyone have any tips not to lose too much time with complex applications. thank
