While Django does have its origins in the publishing industry, and certainly excels there, it's a very flexible framework. It has handled pretty much everything I've thrown at it for several business apps. Even the few areas where Django didn't have native solutions, underneath, it's just Python code, so I've been able to tweak, add, or monkey-patch what I need. I don't know anything about Code Igniter, but Django vs. Rails came down to a language choice for me--namely that I can't stand Ruby (or its cousin Perl), dislike PHP, and that I enjoy Python. However, if you prefer a language other than Python, Django is certainly not for you. This one is a personal mater, based on your own language tastes. The documentation on Django/Python is better than average. I've had a little trouble deploying it, but no more than I would have had with most other frameworks. If you need a cheap-hosting service, something PHP-based is almost always available on the cheap, whereas mod_python/FCGI support on a hosting service tends to bump up the price. I have a couple test boxes though and getting the pieces together was a bit of a stunt: -OpenBSD, needed to upgrade to Apache2 for mod_python support, though in retrospect, I should likely have tried FCGI with the older version of Apache, or installed lighty+FCGI -Mac OS X, needed to upgrade my version of Python, add in the various DB libs (PostgreSQL, MySQL, and sqlite for testing...MySQL was the easiest), and configure Apache or add lighty (which I haven't done yet, as I just use that box for development/testing purposes). Lots of compiling here. :( Things were much easier to install on my Debian Linux box where everything I needed was just an apt-get away.
