If you feel like you have a headstart in Django, I'd go that route.

Else, I might be partial to do it in something like Rails that would allow me to write almost 0 lines of code, instead just spend time connecting various gems, libraries, etc and make a push to Heroku and get a proof of concept up.

While Proof-Of-Concept is running (free on Heroku) I would probably spend time rewriting it in Python or if you become partial to Ruby, just sticking with it...

Django was basically that at the end - but its the fact that i've done it once and so until I get back into it the ramp up time is the same. I've dabbled in ruby before too. Have you had any luck with specific tutorials to get going?
Sorry for replying so late.

One of the favorites for Rails would be Michael Hartl's guide to rails. It's easy to follow, free, and quite extensive.

When you start actually building something, theres a collection of videos called 'railscasts' and theres a video for just about any topic in rails you can imagine.
