No, but would you call arcexplorer or uDig a GIS?
web2py can do frontend and presentation stuff as well as pass parameters 
and inquires to backends. There are a number:
* openlayers & mapfish
* pythongis (shapely et. al.)
* GRASS for heavy progessing
So I am at the moment interested in integration stuff. Make geo analysis 
or information more accessible.
