there are also two great books, the agile rails book, and the rails way. They will get you started, and may be 90% of what you need. The docs are good for the rest.

One thing though, we're comparing apples and oranges; the docs for a web framework vs the docs for a standard library. Are the django docs similar to the standard lib docs?

I'm not trying to dis python, I really like python and use it whenever I need to do mathy stuff with numpy and scipy. Most other things I do in ruby.

The django docs are rather good and similar in many ways to python docs: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/
