I'm in a similar boat...using PHP CMS-es (SilverStripe, Concrete5), wanting to
extend it, tweak it, but would prefer Python instead of PHP.

btw, is there some cart/shop app for web2py?

Now, I'm determined to move my site from PHP to Python and the dilemma is
whether to use Django (for which I found some decent apps like Django-CMS +
Zinnia blog + Django-Shop or Mezzanine CMS/blog + Cartridge shop) or web2Py
which looks very nice, more simple (which I appreciate very much).

Otoh, I'm confused reading that adoption of web2py is increasing, but end-user
apps like kPax seems to ber quite old?

Why is it so?

I'm 'freelancer' in the sense that I need to work on our own (small company)
site, private site, non-profit-org site, as well as some sites of relatives
friends and wonder if there are decent {CMS, blog, ecommerce} apps in web2py
world which can be easily tied together and used for small-medium-sized sites
or web2py is mostly used for intranet apps or some other usages?


Sincerely,
Gour
