I would point out something simple:   The Python Conference site this year
was built with BOTH -  while there are some considerations when having two
frameworks cooperate for one larger task, I would make this point:

What you use is a matter of preference,  what facilities you prefer, what is
ready, etc.

Both are different, both are good - and if you ask which editor I prefer to
use - emacs? vi?  ulipad? .... you will get the same point that you will
with this - you'll find out some details, but ultimately it is up to what
_you_ are more comfortable with.  Only experience will show all
other differences in any real way, and in the biggest picture, they don't
matter that much in this community - because when we are friendly,
cooperative, AND competitive(a bit) we _all_ gain, learn, change, get
better.   If we weren't open to "seeing what the other guys are doing" then
we would risk stagnating.   Fortunately, with Python there seems to be no
worry about that.

Just pick one.  Then - Enjoy, have fun - contribute.
