For people who are wandering like me, the big jump in Django searches was the release of Django Unchained by Quentin Tarantino on Dec 25, 2012.

And Django was far from the only Python web framework at the time Ruby on Rails became popular. Django gained popularity largely because it was seen as a Python equivalent to Rails.

Before then Zope (on which the popular Plone CMS was built) was probably the most widely used web framework in Python. But there were many, many others too.

Fair enough, my information is outdated.

StackOverflow agrees. [1]

If you properly scope to the Computer & Electronics category to avoid matching "Django Unchained" the graph is quite different: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?cat=5&date=all&q=%2...
