If you want a good start to Django follow this guy's setup. The virtual env made managing my libraries a lot easier. http://www.jeffknupp.com/blog/2012/02/09/starting-a-django-project-the-right-way/ http://www.jeffknupp.com/blog/2012/02/09/starting-a-django-p... Rails the framework I think is better than Django. I just found conceptually it had more of what I wanted already in there. However coming from a Java/Perl background, Python was easier for me to grasp and read over Ruby. And timing wise, I wouldn't deploy or upgrade a Rails app until I felt comfortable with the security issues being addressed. Hell, I wouldn't want to surf the internet with an app running on my computer today.
