The only real magic left in Django is the metaclasses that ORM models use to turn class based fields into instance level descriptors.

  class Model(models.Model):  
      field = models.SomeField()  

rather than..

  class Model(models.Model):  
      def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):  
          field = models.SomeField()  
          super(*args, **kwargs)  

Django is most certainly the framework that bundles a whole lot of choices together (similar to Rails), but the magic it performs on behalf of the user is extremely minimal.
