I'm interested in improving my python design by studying a large,

Django.  I realize that Django is popular, but can someone comment on
whether its code is well-designed and worth studying?

Here's a viewpoint that says no: http://mockit.blogspot.com/2010/04/mess-djangos-in.html

There's a lot of good counterpoint in the comments too.

I read most of the discussion. Yep, there is a LOT of disagreement about the code quality. I guess I'll dig in and see whether I can learn anything.

(I also think there's value to be gained in studying _bad_ code,
too...)

True, although whether that's time well spent is another question.
