Dipti, I noticed that web2py supports using Google App Engine. Since GAE's data model is close to Cassandra's, it might not be too hard to add similar support. I'm the current maintainer for pycassa, so if you're interested in adding Cassandra support to web2py, let me know and maybe we can work on it together.
