I think the difference between web2py and all the other web frameworks that run on GAE is that, in the case of web2py, also the Database Abstraction Layer runs on GAE. I.e. if you write a program with web2py for GAE, you can run the same program on Mac with MySQL or Linux with Postgresql or Windows with Oracle or on iPhone with SQLite without one line of modification (*)
All the other frameworks, including Django, require that you use the the google database API in order to use GAE+BigTable, hence your program does not wotk with other database backends without major modifications. They do not work on GAE in the same sense that web2py works on GAE. Massimo (*) The opposite is not always true If you code with web2py and use joins, you cannot run your code on GAE, because BigTable cannot do joins. All the tools that come with web2py including web services, authentication, role based access control API, geocoding, etc. work well on GAE.
