Is it accurate to say that Python/Django is more explicit than Ruby/Rails in how the components are constructed and connected together?

I've learned quite a bit with Ruby/Rails and am now venturing into learning Python/Django. What I've noticed so far is that I see the connections more clearly with Django than I did with Rails. In Rails, that magic that it has under the hood seems awesome, stuff just works....but I don't know exactly how. With Django, I have to be much more verbose but in having to write things out, I feel I understand the structure and concepts better. I haven't gone deep into Django just yet, so maybe I will hit the same roadblocks with it in the future.
