Django is definitely cool, and yes, knowing Python will help you in as much as knowing HTML will help you learn web page design.

You might also check out less-overhead Python frameworks, such as Flask (http://flask.pocoo.org/) or WebPy (http://webpy.org/).

Thanks. I've played with Flask a bit but haven't really gotten into anything too intense. That is a good idea to see if Flask can take care of me for an initial prototype/alpha level release. I guess I jumped straight to Django thinking I had a complex problem and needed a full-featured solution. I'll give Flask a second look.
