My opinions however would be that it would depend very substantially upon the nature of the application. a. For extremely high concurrency I would look at tornado. However it has relatively limited features - so more often than not I would usually give it a pass. b. For most apps, and especially if I wanted a comprehensive well integrated framework - I would look to django. It also happens to perhaps be one of the most frequently used. c. I chose pylons since it better followed my preference of integrating multiple tightly focused frameworks (for templating / databases etc.). Note that pylons is now no longer actively developed and its successor is pyramid. However I haven't really looked at pyramid though thats the one you would want to look at. One particular aspect of pylons is that it does not itself contain a ORM and is usually used with sqlalchemy. Since you specifically mentioned large data - this option of pyramid + sqlalchemy might give you better mileage if the huge data needs to be maintained in a RDBMS. There are a number of other useful frameworks as well including web.py, turbogears etc, but I am not experienced enough to comment on them. Also there are many other light weight / micro frameworks (eg. flask, bottle etc.) You could also consider using sqlalchemy in conjunction with such micro frameworks as well if you need a simple web tier with some complex database handling.
