I'm surprised no one mentioned single page web applications -- that's where I see JavaScript's strength at the moment, compared to the other server-side frameworks you named.

JavaScript: While Node.js is awesome, it is definitely not the best choice for everything -- not everyone needs its features (despite the hype). But if you want to build web apps on the client side, you have to either use JavaScript, or compile to JavaScript.

A client side web app however still needs a back end API. The good thing is, if your front end runs (mostly) on the client side, you can pick almost any language / framework for the back end you want (e.g. Python).

Now if you don't know Django yet, my suggestion would be to learn both Django (given your Pyhton background) and one of the client side JavaScript frameworks, e.g. Ember.js, Angular.js, React.js or maybe Meteor (depending on your use case). (And if you learned both Ember.js and Django, you probably get an idea of what Ruby on Rails is like …).
