I started with Django 1.4 as my first web platform, my first time writing HTML, and my first time writing Python for anything more than text manipulation. I consider myself a fairly experienced programmer, so Python wasn't anything shockingly new. It didn't take me long at all to get my first app running, and even now my app has fair bit of traffic per day.

For myself, I found Two Scoops of Django (https://django.2scoops.org/) a great help. I was really satisfied by that purchase.

To answer the title question, my opinion is jumping right into Django regardless of your experience with Python. I don't see the value behind "don't move into frameworks too early", but I may not be as experienced as the gurus of the internet.
