You are right, success of this platform could not be what it deserves and in fact, PHP offers a series of advantages over it in what regards the community.

As a designer, I am much more interested in the high end and I’m not willing to become a Python guru, so initially I would agree with you entirely, but if you can handle hosting, and create a good toolset of Django Apps, you’d end up developing very little python code.

@Aaron Stroud -

I am continually amazed by the amount and quality of free software out there.

So do I, Aaron, truly amazing.

Python is not a language that is as widely used as php, so I believe that the adoption rate at this moment is rather low. The community will have to do a great deal of work to promote it, else it will be just another great software that is buried under the thousands of software that are released everyday. As for me, adopting this software will require me to pick up python, which I can't afford the time to do it now. I will follow the development of Django closely and possibly in the near future, I can have the chance to try it. Happy New Year!

The fact that is not as supported as, say, PHP is certainly a drawback, and might not be a minor one, since less people using is less community support and therefore, less collective development and then, less applications to use. Compare it with wordpress, for instance, where would WP be without all the community support and collective development? Yet, from a technical point of view, I find Django is a very promising environment, seems to allow a for a very fast growth of your own library of code for future projects if you are a developer and a fast growing community. I think is definitely worth giving it a look. @DazzlinDonna - Hi Donna, good point.

I'm not crazy about the fact that lots of hosts might not support it, but if it's good enough, that can be a minor deterrent. Sounds interesting.
