Need a compelling argument to use Django instead of Rails

This is a good argument, you should make a list of all the greatest python
libraries that you could use for your projects, for ex. reportlab, PIL,
doctools, elementtree, sqlalchemy etc etc and try to "sell" that.

BTW I'd choose TurboGears for it's flexibility, but I guess Django could be
nice when more rapid results are needed (and the problem doesn't fall too
far from the Django sweet spot).

This is a hard attitude, but I have the same feeling about Ruby, I like
Python and just don't see a reason to invest any time in Ruby (Rails or
not).. and from that little I've seen from it.. I didn't like it. 
OTOH Ruby surelly is not that bad either.
