Python was well established long before Django came around. Although Numpy existed for a while, most Python developers did not use it till the late 2000's.
Python's rise in popularity is probably because it was a much nicer alternative to Perl. The percentage of non-programmers I would encounter using Python was significantly higher than those using Perl.
And then there was its "batteries included" philosophy.
And, of course, it came preinstalled with most Linux distributions.
