Differences between webapp and web.py

Question

Webpy.org - Who uses web.py?

\"[web.py inspired the] web framework we use at FriendFeed [and] the webapp framework that ships with App Engine...\"

Answer 1

They're very similar, it just happens that webapp is more tailored to GAE than web.py. webapp is very small and is definitely optimized for writing for App Engine, so if that's your cup of tea, you should use it. You did say you didn't want to use Django's template system (I don't know why, it's pretty easy), which is what webapp comes with by default. The template system can be changed, but I recommend you give the Django engine a try.

That said, if you don't like it it's not terribly hard to set up with a new framework (basically anything WSGI compliant ought to work). If you want to use web.py, by all means, set it up, but you may have to do a little searching on how to set it up and configure everything to work.
