Wordpress is a gateway drug to programming. Not happy with the API, write your own... I think that one of wordpress's major strengths is the incredible amount of man hours spent on that product, probably more than a hundred thousand people have programmed to some extent on it, and that gives a product which possibly can fulfill any need, but also has a security patch twice a month. Myself, I've written my own blogging engines/cms which is fun but I've gone back to wordpress recently and the latest versions are pretty slick. I don't think django could easily do wordpress selfupdate.
