I'd like to use Python to build a website with more than 100,000 PV each day. Now what I concern is to choose which web framework. I know lots of people use Django, and some people use web.py. Django seems powerful, and I also like the simplicity of web.py. Which framework should I use? (Please introduce the performance and the maintenance complexity, thanks!) Can web.py build complicated applications? Are there other frameworks better than these two?

In case you haven't started yet, Give both frameworks a try. I started off with Django and moved to web.py.

Web.py is not that hard as one might think. In fact, I find it easier to work with than with Django!

Just my 2 cents.
