Yes and no - I've used Django with Turbogears, but only for playing around/learning. I'll be digging more into it this week during my off time though - it's very nice so far.
Would the extension repo idea be able to be worked into this, then? I mean, I know it would, but would we want to do that?
I spent quite some time yesterday trying to get Django installed on a Sourceforge hosting account - it was not pretty :( In short, it would be messy (install a local Python along with dependencies for Django, then run the whole mess through fcgi - and I'm not entirely sure it's possible after all).
And while I'm rambling on - what about trying Turbogears as a framework? Sourceforge is moving to it (though I doubt that they will be using the default cherrypy server). At any rate, I will be playing around with Django and probably TG this week to prototype the extension repo. Whether or not the extension repo becomes an addon to the main site, I'm happy to help.
