Django from a Rails perspective

At the November meetup, Python came up (uv, governance, etc.), and since I'm currently working through Django's getting started guide, I was thinking about doing this talk :)

Just to set expectations:

Would this be a complete side-by-side comparison: No!
Am I a Python expert: Hell no! 😅

But I thought it could be interesting – think of it as a "Reisebericht" of a Rails dev stumbling through their first Python web app. What feels familiar? What's surprisingly different? Where did I get confused? That kind of thing.
