What are the specifics? In what aspects is it easier to develop in Django?. I havent ever used Django, but I heard that while Django apps may be easier to develop (if minimal subsequent customization of boilerplate is required), it may be harder on the outset to customize Django apps. Is a Django app now more amenable to customization than before?.
Pylons apps on the other hand (from my experience) require a bit of a learning curve to get started, however there is a lot of inherent flexibility in how you can customize your pylons app. There are many discussions on this subject.
