(Full disclosure, I'm the founder of ToDesktop. I think this is a helpful answer though)

If your Django app is already deployed as a web app then you can wrap the web app in Electron.

If the web app does not need to be distributed to users (i.e.. you don't need an installer or code signing) then Nativefier is great for that. It's free and open-source. I made a Nativefier guide here.

If you're distributing to users then you'll probably want an installer and code signing and auto-updates for Electron. ToDesktop will do all that for you without any coding or configuration. There's a comparison of the two here.
