The replies are true, but to your question, yes. Right now would be a good time provided you were on square footing with both.

I've never used python, so it would be starting from scratch. I love a lot of things about rails but deployment is not one of them. Is it easier to deploy Django?

If you want a good start to Django follow this guy's setup. The virtual env made managing my libraries a lot easier.

Rails the framework I think is better than Django. I just found conceptually it had more of what I wanted already in there. However coming from a Java/Perl background, Python was easier for me to grasp and read over Ruby. And timing wise, I wouldn't deploy or upgrade a Rails app until I felt comfortable with the security issues being addressed. Hell, I wouldn't want to surf the internet with an app running on my computer today.
