Rails comes with many libraries, you might use some or you might not, is this just to play around or for an actual project?

I'd say if you know Django and python it shouldnt be hard at all to pick up ruby and Rails. I think learning rails would a great learning exercise, something you can already apply your Django knowledge

actual project.

i think it boils down to how explicit python is. it is so immediately clear to me what is going on and where things are coming from and what they are doing that when i look at ruby/rails code it looks like a big empty void that is producing something fantastic and all i can thing is "...wtf?". i really really want to know how to speak in magic but i'm not sure my brain is equipped to process it.
