Both are worth learning. If you already know Subversion or CVS,
then Bazaar and Mercurial are a bit easier to learn, IMHO. I find
git a bit more powerful (particularly the ease with which you can
make sub-file commits; this was what finally made git's "index"
click for me as something valuable rather than something to grouse
about).

I've not probed the edges of it, but you may want to try the
vcsplugin for Vim which facilitates using any of them.

Both are good frameworks. As you've picked up, Pylons/Pyramid was
much more a-la-carte where you pick your various components; while
Django is more monolithic (though, just being Python, nothing stops
you from using other components).

Both have debugging toolbars which are helpful. I tend to do the
"print" style debugging to dump stuff to my devserver's console, but
the debugging toolbars and Python's "logging" module are both
helpful too. I used to try "import pdb; pdb.set_trace()" at areas
of interest, but older versions of Django's runserver had problems
(raw terminal control issues) with it--I don't know if that's improved.
