Hi Nafiul, One place to start would be to read the WSGI specification. WSGI is the interface between your web server (say, Apache) and Python as a language. The WSGI spec - also known as PEP 333 - gives a brief overview before it gets into the fine details. However, one of the advantages of WSGI as an interface is that there aren't actually that many fine details anyway -- for such a significant specification, it's remarkably readable.
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/ This will show you the interaction between web server and code that a website developer would need to write; from there, it's a matter of looking at what tasks the website developer needs to do often, and finding abstractions and APIs to make that job easier. That's where Django, and it's libraries for URL routing, database interaction, form processing and so on comes in. If you try and write a non-trivial website to the "bare metal" of WSGI, you'll very quickly see what Django (or any other web framework, for that matter) is providing for you.
