Rails has certainly become loads better. But the source is still cryptic to anyone but a ruby master. Rails 3 is in the works which is turning into mostly a full rewrite as near as I can tell. I expect Rails 3 code base to be much easier to understand. But that's not out yet and when it is, I expect you'll need to wait a year before enough of the libs and plugins are running smoothly. It sounds like you have enough python under your belt and like django well enough. I'd recommend going with that. Your not missing out on some other framework/language pair that is more powerful. I use ruby/merb. I occasionally look around for something I like better but nothing is worth the switching costs at this point.
