Django is a programming _library_ (also called a framework) that makes
web development easier/possible in Python (well it's some tools as well
as a library).  Basically check out the introductory documents at their
website:  https://www.djangoproject.com/start/

Depending on your definition of IDE, many Python programmers and Django
developers don't use an IDE at all, but just a nice programmer's text
editor.  Many people enjoy using the commercial Sublime Text editor.
Personally I use ViM.

An IDE could be useful for doing web development in Django, with code
completion as Django has many sub libraries and lots of APIs to
remember.  Do a search for Python IDEs.  Some are free, some are not.
