I've been using python for the past 12 years, I think web2py is one of the best designed full feature python frameworks around. The only complaints I see people make are "from gluon.tools import *" which is not a concern for me - if you're going to be working on something, it's nice to have those tools already attached to your suit. and "memory leaks". I've never encountered a memory leak in my experience of using web2py.
If you're going to listen to the lead developer of django, then use his software. If you're going to listen to the developer of web2py, use his software. I don't care. I'm just glad I picked a framework that does what I need. Forget all this noise about which is the "best". Looking at it another way, am I going to choose something that was designed by committee, or something designed by a Ph.D who teaches development and web security?
