I don't think webapp2 is a framework, though. It was designed to be compatible with webapp2, and then add some niceties, so it's a drop-in replacement for webapp. Even with webapp2_extras, it doesn't contain half of what Django or Rails does.
And note that the author abandoned Tipfy for it.
- rbanffy 15y agoNo, it doesn't. It's very hard to build something as complete - and as self-dependent - as Django on top of something that moves as fast as Google's App Engine. The only thing I miss when using Django on EC2 is the automagic zero-admin scaling Google provides. The only thing I miss from Django when using App Engine is the admin (which wouldn't work on top of the datastore anyway)
