Has anyone tried to deploy a cookiecutter-django project on Netlify, or maybe just a Django project? I'm not sure which commands Netlify requires for deploying my site.

As far as I understand Netlify is to deploy front-end applications or staticly generated sites. It doesn't provide a back-end environment to run a Python application like Flask or Django. Therfore, it wouldn't make sense to support it in cookiecutter-django.
However, you could use a static site generator in Python, like Pelican.

Yup, @Bruno is correct - static sites only on Netlify. Netlify can reverse proxy to a dynamic site: https://www.netlify.com/docs/redirects/#proxying in case you have substantial static content and just a few dynamic pages – fool Apr 06 '18 at 21:15

@RasmusKierudsen please don't forget to accept my answer if you're happy with it :-) Thanks – Bruno A. Apr 07 '18 at 14:48
