I use Django for my projects and I don't share this opinion on the maturity aspect. Can you explain your statement a bit more? What aspects of Django are immature?

The release notes for Django 1.4, for example, list support for both Time Zones and Selenium.
Time Zones were added to Rails 2.1 in 2008. selenium-on-rails also debuted in 2008.
Does it not seem strange to you that it took 4 years after Rails for Django to get these features?

There were plenty of extensions that allowed you to use Selenium with Django, I maintained one of them. Django is fairly conservative about including new features into the core that work well as extensions. And this is something I value a lot.
The time zone support, though, was really overdue.

Really, if you wanna complain about something that's in Rails and not in Django properly, talk about database migrations.

South...but I agree that database migrations should be part of the Django core.
Python suffers from their web framework community being too fragmented, so none of the projects are as mature as Rails.
