I think both Eric and weheh are right. On the one side there is no reason you cannot use something like web2py for it (benefit from DAL and templating language and caching) on the other size there are some issue with scalability that have to be resolved outside web2py or any framework (storage and database bottleneck). Currently for example web2py does not have a machanism to store session in memcache (only for GAE) and need to add that (in progress). It would also be nice to have a smarter (fail safe) version of memcache.
