I don't think Django is a great example. Python it'self is by far superior to Ruby. It is one of those kind of languages, where frameworks are optional. something like web.py or cherrypy are just enough. The problem with python, is that there is plethora of frameworks, but not one is close to perfect. So, sometimes you don't know what too choose. While with Ruby, you are stuck with one main framework (well, there are few less popular ones), which creates more synergy and knowledge towards that framework/way of web developing, but limits choice.
