"Business Logic" is too broad to give you a good answer. If you mean stuff like calculating salaries (if your domain is HR) or determining if a 'monster' is dead (for a game) then django should pose no obstacle since it is based in python and you should implement all that logic in your own business modules that you just import. The same is true for any other web framework.
>From the quote you posted I think you are referring to the limitations of existing modules. The thing is that django is not a cms or a shopping cart turnkey solution, those would be apps that you implement on top of django. If you feel limited by some django app (there are ecommerce apps for django), you can always choose another or create your own.
