If you're just learning Python, I would not recommend to start with Django, since Django does so much for you. It does sound like Django would be a great choice for your side project.
It seems it's one of those things where you have to decide: Do I want to learn or do I want to build something and optimize for that.
- j_syk 10y agoI actually taught myself python through Django. Basically started the tutorial without previous python experience. When you start with the ORM and models, views, etc, there is enough Django-specific stuff you have to learn anyway. Not that I'd recommend this way... but 6 years later it seemed to have worked.
- collyw 10y agoI learned Python and Django together. I had a Perl background,so it wasn't a great jump, mainly just googling "python equivalent of <perl code>"
