Web.py is really minimalist and follows very few conventions quite unlike the aforementioned frameworks. That part of it really appealed to me and it is the reason why I use it heavily for alot of my personal projects. Although that flexibility comes with a price however. Especially if you're accustomed to having things served to you on a silver platter using web.py may seem daunting. But the sooner you can get over this the better as it's minimalist nature is actually a strength. The framework itself is very DIY, so if you're going to have to implement a couple of things that might be included in other frameworks.
Like you I was never comfortable with the Django due to the reasons you've mentioned. With web.py I atleast have a sense of what's going on and have the power to grab it and do stuff with it. I'm pretty sure the Django guys will shoot my argument down, my point is that it wasn't *initially apparent*when I first used Django. And that was the trouble I had with it, since I likened to use minimalist frameworks that just stay out of my way and let me do stuff (Ramaze, Sinatra, and CodeIgniter to name a few.) hope this helps.
