[This worked for me, so, adding it as one of the answers]

I wasted nearly 4-5 hours after using bitniami djangostack AMI, finally got my django project working using this guide: saltycrane.com/blog/2008/08/notes-django-and-mysql-amazons-ec2

It might be better take a standard well known image and install the software. The Ubuntu installation is quick and easy. In my case I've had no trouble using the ubuntu-maverick-10.10-amd64-server AMI from Canonical to build up a Pylons stack. For your requirements you could start with this AMI and then using 

sudo tasksel --section server

and selecting the LAMP components (space-bar to select) you get Apache and MySQL. Then 

sudo apt-get install python-django python-django-doc

gets you Django. See more details here.

Of course custom configuration is another matter -- which for my level of Apache experience is a slow process.
