I am obviously partial in this but here are my two cents: - web2py is here to stay. I have committed enough time on this already to let it die anytime too, so have many of the other contributors and there is many of them.
- as far as usability is concerned, you should try it yourself and here we all bet you'll choose web2py over Django once you try them both. - as far as users, you are correct, Django has more users than web2py but do not trust the statistics you find online (for example Django is also a person's name so Google returns way more hits than just those to the framework; some groups may have more members because they do not drop spam accounts, which we do; some group may have excess activity because issues take long time to resolve so threads stay open longer then they should. You will notice many web2py threads are short lived because the issue is resolved quickly. Django has many bug reports because they take long time to fix them. We have no open bug report because we fix everything within 48 hours unless it is a new feature request). Bottom line: Django has more users because it has been around longer. It also have very vocal and opinionated supporters. I do not know that it has 100 more users. I know from my logs that web2py popularity is growing exponentially. - if you need professional support there is a list companies that are willing to provide such support. There is a list of affiliated companies on the web2py page. - from your name I guess you are Italian. I am too. so you can ask questions in Italian. ;-) Massimo On May 12, 4:30 am, giohappy <gioha...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear web2py group, > I'm going to adobt a python web application framework for my next > works, and until yesterday I was oriented to Django, as it seems to > give me the best tradoff between simplicity, rapidity, power, etc > A friend of mine ha suggested me to have a look at web2py, and I admit > I've been impressed by its features.... but as always, when one has to > choose a technology on which to invest, the diffusion and the long- > term support are other foundamental features to evaluate it. > So my 1 billion $ question is: the web2py community seems to be > growing, but it's two order of magnitude smaller the django's, and the > google group activity is considered "low" respect to the "high" > django's group.
