I realise that this is an old topic, but I hope this is useful to other people looking to use RequireJS with Django.
You should take a look at django-require, which takes care of integrating the r.js optimizer with Django. I've just pushed up the 1.0.0 release. https://github.com/etianen/django-require It optimises your project using r.js in a post_process step. There's two built-in storage classes, and a mixin that can integrate with any other django storage backend (for example, S3BotoStorage from django-storages). It also supports compiling standalone modules using almond.js. It's a new package, so all feedback gratefully received!
