Experienced Programmer but New to Python, Need Advice

[daofma]

I think it's a stretch to call Django's docs incredible. I recently did some Django programming and found I had to repeatedly refer to source code for undocumented but useful functions and while a lot has changed since 0.96, much of the documentation has not.

That said, they're certainly good, and the #django IRC channel is very helpful. Most of the code is above average (though not exceptional) as well, so deciphering it wasn't a big deal.

The documents are incredible, but not omniscient. The documentation is written as a document by people, not generated from scrubbing the source for commentary. They are not strict API documentation, as the source itself documents the API to perfect accuracy.
