Should I learn Python instead?

There is also TurboGears, which (IMO) is greatness in the making.
Though unfortunately, the documentation is still catching up to the
greatness.  I'm using it and loving it, though.

DJango is great for content management.  TurboGears is (IMO) a more
generalized framework.  It all depends on what kind of site you are
wanting to create.
