I *think* the command runs if I escape the hyphen:

Yes, escaping the hyphen is the correct thing to do. You could also try something like

grep -r  '.-jango' /opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/

grep -r -e -jango ...

should also work (and return nothing in this case). -e can be used multiple times, effectively or-ing the regexps. (Especially useful with -F if you have a lot of regexp operators in fixed strings!)
