I think it depends how deep into the fundamentals you want to go. If you're building say a shopping cart extension for Django, your time is better spent building within the framework than learning the nitty gritty of WSGI. It's a cost-time trade off and sometimes learning the fundamentals is not worth it when you could be spending more time on working on your actual problem domain.

I would not be surprised how many Django developers setup WSGI and still have no idea how it works or why it exists, they just pull up a Google article on best practices for deploying Django and follow it to the T.
You'll be surprised to find out that there are many software developers who are "fast learners", but actually are shallow learners. Or to put it more kindly, they are not-so-curious learners, i.e. they only learn just enough things they need to accomplish the task at the moment. It's not necessarily a bad trait; but sometimes if you don't learn the fundamentals, it will cost you more (time, effort) along the way.
