This might sound a little harsh, but if you need to ask if you can do it in Django, then you shouldn't do it.
Not because it is not entirely possible... but because you're not confortable with the framework and its quirks and your productivity on it, yet. Since this is your Real Job, that will (probably) have your boss angry at you if it's not delivered on time... Also, the requirements that you gave us are too much broad: No multi-user weblog app with media files is only that. There will probably be comments (threaded?, how to deal spam?), image galleries, you will need HTML formatting while editing the posts, tags (?), categories, social-networking features (?), user registration, RSS/Atom, technoratti ping, templates per-user, plugins (?), send article via email, stuff like that. A full-wordpress clone in three weeks... I don't think it's a realistic goal. Unless you want something simpler. Talk to your boss and get *every* requirement for the project. If you don't need the fancy stuff (which I doubt, but I don't work there :p), try Django, otherwise, hack WP.
