Looking it up, it seems pretty much that:
Kevin Systrom " thought of combining location check-ins and popular social games. He made the prototype of what later became Burbn and pitched it to Baseline Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz at a party. He came up with the idea while on a vacation in Mexico when his girlfriend was unwilling to post her photos because they did not look good enough when taken by the iPhone 4 camera." (Wikipedia)
He used Django because I guess that was an easy way for one guy to do it fairly quickly. The app was Burbn which then pivoted into Instagram.
By the way I kind of surveyed the "what framework should I use" stuff on HN over the last year and Django still seems the most popular, probably followed by Rails and Phoenix.
