I'm sure the folks on the django list have the best opinions on this.

That said, the installation guide for django says 'It works with Python 
2.6, 2.7, 3.2 or 3.3' so I'd feel free to follow that unless I 
discovered that the areas giving problems would overlap with my specific 
use case.  If django by itself were at some level incompatible with 3.3 
the authors would have either already fixed it or removed 3.3 from the 
'known to work under' list, so I suspect it's still a third party module 
that the django users are having problems with.

YMMV,
