I actually decided to base my project on web2py rather than django but
decided on django at te very last minute. The reason I originally chose
web2py is the agility and flexibility of the generated SQL. Django
favours simplicity over speed, meaning you develop very fast but the SQL
is rather bloated.
The reasons I chose django in the end were that nearly all answers on
the web2py user list came from the lead developer, suggesting a small
community that pivots around a single person. ReiserFS came to mind at
the time. Django has a larger user base, meaning the chance it'll be
around in 5 years time is bigger. A second argument was that
documentation for django is simply more extensive and the user forum
(this forum) is really useful.

Implement a basic version of your site in django.
Django has a fair bit of structure, to allow you to focus on the
business logic, rather than the plumbing. Be prepared to get used to
not having to manage the nitty gritty of a lot of things.

I've been playing around with web2py the past few months, even
open-sourced an event-site (aka meetup.com <http://meetup.com>)
which I wrote with it.
Now I might be starting a job where all I'll be doing is
Django—probably GeoDjango + Pinax—and was wondering a few things:
1. Apart from following the tutorial, what else should I do to
learn Django?
2. What are your thoughts on web2py?
I will listen to reasons, e.g.: if you think I shouldn't look back to
web2py for other projects and stick with Django for all my future
projects.
Thanks for all suggestions,
