A mailinglist doesn't say everything about community site, but it can be a nice indication. I usually use Google trends to get a usage comparison. This is not a sure way to measure usage, but it should give a nice indication about the usage. Here's a link: http://www.google.com/trends?q=django%2C+web2py%2C+turbogears%2C+zope%2C+pylons&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 These numbers might be pretty skewed because Django (Reinhardt) was a very popular guitarist. As for books, where did you look? Amazon has 101 results for Django: http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1236110729/ref=sr_nr_n_0?ie=UTF8&rs=1000&keywords=django&bbn=5&rnid=1000&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Adjango%2Ci%3Astripbooks%2Cn%3A5 Amazon has 2 results for Web2Py: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=node%3D5&field-keywords=web2py&x=0&y=0 I think you are missing a clear comparison here, have a look at both frameworks (or possibly, more, there are others) and think about what features you will need. Which framework suits your needs better? -- Rick van Hattem Rick.van.Hattem(at)Fawo.nl
