there are also two great books, the agile rails book, and the rails way. They will get you started, and may be 90% of what you need. The docs are good for the rest. One thing though, we're comparing apples and oranges; the docs for a web framework vs the docs for a standard library. Are the django docs similar to the standard lib docs? I'm not trying to dis python, I really like python and use it whenever I need to do mathy stuff with numpy and scipy. Most other things I do in ruby.
