Active, based on 'activity' - based on code contribution and forums activity, you can see that for yourself. Check the github sites (https://github.com/web2py/web2py, and https://github.com/web2py/pydal), and also the forum postings. The code commits, issues being addressed are all recent ones. Active, based on adoption - can't speak for others ... I have been using web2py for the last 2+ years, for the applications that I have built. None are public at the moment though.

A suggestion, based on my personal experience - web2py is a rather well engineered framework, and helps you to get going with building a typical database based application. If not anything, learn web2py, and build something useful with it. This investment of time will help you understand if web2py is suitable for you to build your business applications.

Use the forums to help you with any issues you may face, and you will find a welcoming and helpful community.
All the best with your learning.

I have been doing some research on Python web frameworks and have tried Django and Flask. They were OK...

I found a free web2py video on Udemy and really liked the whole package, especially with the brilliant Admin. I want to take a deep dive and really learn this stuff.

What scares me off is that it just doesn't seem to be very popular in professional Python circles for some reason. It won awards in 2012 but that was 4 years ago. Is this worth really learning web2py or should I just use it as a stepping stone to something else? Are there any major websites that use this and have stuck with it over the years?
