I think this is a good call on your part. There are a lot of people who know Django, and Python in general. In this phase it's good for you to use something that your immediate peers use.
Learning Python is one of my personal goals this year, so while we're on the subject of Python, has anyone done a review of Zed Shaw's Learn Python the Hard Way (http://learnpythonthehardway.org)?
One of the biggest mistakes I used to make was reading programming books start to finish, and then coding. I would read in a comfy chair and code at a desk. Laziness would kick in, and I'd sit and read, instead of popping over to the desk and coding what I just learned.
The second mistake I used to make is wasting time (and $$) on crappy books without researching reviews first. I like the philosophy behind Zed's tutorial - learn by doing - but I was wondering what Python programmers thought of it.
