I don't know how much experience you have in Python or with web servers in general, but I suggest that you start with Flask (http://flask.pocoo.org) instead - to get the hang of usual "design patterns", etc...

If you really want to learn Django (https://www.djangoproject.com) there is a nice tutorial covering the basics on TutorialsPoint - http://www.tutorialspoint.com/django/

Good luck!
