Now that I've gotten relatively familiar with web2py, I'd like to give Django a go.

What would be the most efficient way to get started taking into account web2py knowledge? (It must help to have some python application framework knowledge,no?)

EDIT

Also, if you've used both, can you offer an opinion on which you prefer and why?
