I think that you might really struggle trying to pick up Django without really understanding programming or Python. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't try, I'm just suggesting that you might struggle. A lot of people approach web frameworks from scratch and think that they can learn it in a couple of weeks and be proficient at them. It takes a lot of time. I'm thinking a good 6 months before becoming proficient. Sure you can cut and paste the code from the tutorials and have a simple blog application and running in a week, but you won't really have a clue as to what's going on inside the framework. There are a lot of parts of Python that Django uses that can be a little overwhelming to a noob programmer. For instance, URL's are crafted by using Regular expressions. Regexes might take you a couple of weeks to get your head around if you've never used them before. Django also tends to pass dictionaries around as arguments, which can be confusing and overwhelming if you've never seen them before. Same thing with it's use of list comprehensions under the hood. The use of args, kwargs or variable length arguments can be a bit confusing as well. So, be patient with yourself. Django is certainly a great framework and well worth the time investment to learn. Python is also a great language, but again, these things take time to learn well.
