I apologize in advance - I will not answer your question. But I will put back some questions:
Why do you need an "IDE for Django"? Who uses Python the longest, emg eral does not use an IDE even for the language - in Python, things are more concise and a special IDE for every little thing you will do is not something so necessary.
If instead of looking for plug-ins for the IDE, and then learning how the Netbeans IDE works, how the Netbeans IDE works with Python and how the Netbeans IDE works with Django, you go to the Python documentation
(http://python.org, http://wiki.python.org.br ) and in the Django documentation
(https://www.djangoproject.com/, and has a tutorial in Portuguese in https://web.archive.org/web/20140711105221/http://Docs.djangobrasil.org/intro/tutorial01.html ) - will be able to learn the part that really matters, and not be depending on specific tools.
Django, like other more complex frameworks in other languages, relies on a not-so-small set of files for the project to exist. But unlike frameworks in Java for example, the creation of these basic files does not depend on them being created by a specific IDE: the framework itself has commands to create new projects, and initialize the configuration files, view folders, and so on...
Or have you ever imagined a writer needing a "Bic pen" to write, or he won’t write?
Why not use Pycharm? There is the community version which is very good. In addition to the fact that it was developed by Jetbrains.

About Pycharm, the community version does not support Django, only Python. The Professional version supports Django, in return it is necessary to buy a license. But it is a good option, I have tested and even found it cool, although weak, but enough to work. I’ve already given up Netbeans and actually decided to take a break from Django/python, but I leave the question in case a good answer arises to help another in the future. But thanks for the tip that really is useful.

netbeans-Django is not an active project. What’s more, netbeans has never supported Python natively. Also, although Django is not a free Pycharm feature it is still worth A LOT using the IDE. Support for Python, codeintelligence, code scan/code browser, virtual enviroments etc.. is excellent and I doubt very much that you need more than that to work. After all, this is Python!

I’m starting to develop in Python with Django. I used to use Netbeans for Java development - PHP. But I really liked Pycharm as an IDE for python application development. It would be a good look. I don’t know if I helped! But I assure you that was my real intention! Hugs!
