Like any omni-tool Django can usually solve most problems a web application framework can be applied to. Depending on your problem space however you might need to pull out a crow bar or a blow torch. Leaving the metaphor, python in general fails at some async and cpu-intensive tasks, while other languages (or even frameworks/libraries of Python) excel at it. Whatsapp for example excelled through its use of Erlang, and would not have worked well had it been build with Django. Django always gets a lot of praise here (deservedly) but I feel a counter-weight should also be applied to prevent less experienced, and easily influenced, developers from getting the wrong impression (though that may be a lost cause with tech hype).
