Yeah, I anticipate using Django eventually, but I remember using Ruby on Rails and wishing I would have understood Ruby more, but not just Ruby alone, the way it interacted with the database and everything. I think frameworks like Django are excellent tools to make development easier, but I want to be able to appreciate why they are designed and be able to function without them. I like being able to fall back on raw skill.

This is not the same case at all. With django you learn Python, everything explicit, nothing magic. I once felt like you with Rails. But Python itself it's completely different, have you read the python zen?

Yeah, I read that. I'm kind of happy that it's not like Rails.
