This sounds like a reasonable approach -- although I would:
 * Make sure you do Django's Tutorial 4 after Tutorial 3.
 * Use something other than the "how to contribute" guide to Pinax as
your introduction to Pinax.

The thing to keep in mind through all of this is that Python, Django
and Pinax are all just layers built on top of each other. Python is a
language. Django is a library that uses that language. Pinax is a set
of specific Django apps and configuration guidelines that help in
using Django. Jumping straight in and learning Pinax from the start is
probably possible, but you'll miss a whole lot of valuable groundwork
along the way.

Best of luck with your project!

Yours,
