I have some web2py apps used internally by a Fortune 500 company, and I know there are many similar cases. Sahana Eden<http://demo.eden.sahanafoundation.org/eden/>is an example of a public project that is not a "small app." Certainly, though, Django has a larger community and ecosystem. This is partly due to the fact that it came several years earlier (I believe shortly after Rails first appeared) and was created within a commercial context (so had instant commercial credibility). web2py also does a few things outside the norm for a Python framework so hasn't received a lot of love within the wider Python community. Nevertheless, InfoWorld rated web2py best among six Python frameworks (including Django) and awarded it a 2011 Bossie Award for open source application development software as well as a 2012 Technology of the Year Award.
Although the web2py community is smaller, it is known for being very active, friendly, and helpful. The development process is also fairly agile and informal, so if you are interested, you are probably much more likely to be able to influence and contribute to the development of the framework than you would be with something like Django (have a good idea -- send Massimo a patch, and you'll probably see it in trunk within a day or two).
