What is Django? What does it do?

It's a MVC (Model-View-Controller) web framework made in Python that works with a number of different kinds of databases.

Check out the models overview to get a feel for how powerful and simple it can be to use: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/db/models/

Strictly speaking it's a MTV framework (like all traditional web frameworks really).

But half the time people use it as a MVC framework where URL's act as the final link back to the model.

Fine, I'll see your negative karma and raise you the heading from the site:

Django makes it easier to build better Web apps more quickly and with less code.

You either see (call) a bet or you raise it, you don't see and raise, as it's confusing. There's a name for this confusing, inappropriate behavior in a poker game: string bet [0], and it's simply not allowed at most tables.

I differ with your assessment of Python, implied by the following:

"the more simplistic 'Python' language"

"a real language like Ruby or Pearl"

Plus there's the typo: *Pearl -> Perl

Python is quite real, my friend. No need to dis.

In case you didn't catch it, the whole comment is pretty flagrant trolling. Even the pronunciation of "Django" is wrong.
