Learn Python the Hard Way will give you more than enough Python knowledge to get started with Django. The Django tutorial [1] is very impressive - it will take you from the initial steps to a very basic (but working) web application, exposing various Django concepts along the way. The Django documentation is so good I learned Python from it - I had never used Python before starting to learn Django. The tutorials and docs on the Django site are better than any of the Django books I have looked at so far.
