Scrypt is better than bcrypt, but mostly not in ways that make much of a difference in 2017.
PBKDF2 comes close to being materially worse than bcrypt and scrypt, because it's especially straightforward on modern hardware, but even PBKDF2 is fine.
For the most part, as long as you're using anything with a KDF-like design for your password hash, a compromise of your password database is going to reveal the very terrible passwords and only those passwords; the rest will be too costly to crack.
Right now given the choice I'd use scrypt and go slightly out of my way to get it (if there was a good 3rd party library for it and bcrypt was in the standard library and I was like a "yarn add" away from having it, I'd take that step), but I would not convert a bcrypt site to scrypt.
It has to do with defender's vs attacker's costs. PBKDF2, which is usually instantiated with SHA-2, even with huge amount of rounds is still a lot cheaper for the attacker than for the defender, since the attacker can use GPU/ASIC, requiring fewer transistors, running many calculations in parallel, while defenders usually use CPU. On the other hand, bcrypt, scrypt, Argon2 don't provide a lot of advantage to the attacker compared to CPU, since GPU and ASIC implementations are expensive and memory-bound.
PS My measurements show that pure JavaScript implementation of scrypt is better than fast native PBKDF2 provided by WebCrypto API or Node.js at the same running time.
PPS But yeah, if you can't use bcrypt/scrypt/Argon2, but can use PBKDF2 with high number of rounds, sure, do it.
Yes to scrypt, but these days, Argon2[1] is the best.
"better" means "cannot be calculated much faster on GPU or even FPGA because it requires a lot of RAM".
"materially better" probably means "less than a million of hashes per second on eight Nvidia GTX 1080 running hashcat"[2], so Django and scrypt are both good (adjust work factor as needed, of course).
