If you're familiar with Ruby/Rails, I don't see any reason to switch. They're both good large frameworks. As you said, yes Django may sometimes feel a bit less "magic", due to Python's "explicit is better than implicit" motto, https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/

If you want to give it a try anyway, Two Scoops of Django is a wonderful book, by two warm contributors from the Python community. https://www.twoscoopspress.com/
