Django has a good reputation for API stability, and has fantastic documentation (Rails has caught up, but for a long time Django was a standout). My 1.1 books still work for 90% of 1.3, and the 1.1>1.2>1.3 release notes explain and offer solutions for any changes they make (such as class-based views).
I dabbled in Rails & Django over the last 2-3 years, and took a big detour into Rails a few months ago. I like the conventions, but it's easy to get distracted when looking for plug-ins/gems to solve your problems. Every time I look back at Django, it takes me half a day to get back into the flow. Rails, not so much.
