Hi Harris, Django is a framework where you can build a CMS, it doesn't come with this behaviour after installed. You're going to have to make a "Model" for "Article", code the functions to retrieve them, build each display page (the html), etc...
The comparision can't really be made, since when you install Joomla you get a very focused (even counting the plug-ins) solution. You would have to build a CMS using what Django offers. Now, that's good and bad :) You'll have complete control of the software, doing things your way, adding features that you want. If Joomla covers your needs as a CMS, go for it, unless you want things differently, and that's where Djando would fit it. I am sure someone has already built CMSs using Django, so a search on the list archives and Google might be fruitful if you want a starting point.
