I also work in a python/django shop, and have been experimenting with clojure for about nine months. Before yesterday I would have told you that clojure web tooling does not come remotely close to the power of django. With a large amount of effort in piecing different libraries together, you might cover 30 or 40% of what django provides out of the box. I will have to reevaluate that with the announcement of Caribou, which looks good at first glance.
As a language, clojure is much more enjoyable. Python may seem clumsy and ineffective after writing clojure for awhile.
