It is very different. They support app engine in the sense that you
can run the framework there. But if you develop your app for the app-
engine with Pylons (for example) you cannot run exactly the same app
on (for example) Oracle. The database API is different (you use the
GAE DB api on GAE and you have to use the SQLAlchemy API on RDBS).

Web2py DAL is the only database abstraction layer that works on GAE
and RDBS. You can run code that works on GAE and, unmodified, on
Oracle or other RDBS.

Django has started a NoDB project to do the same and I believe these
is a patched version of Django can can do something similar to what
web2py does. I am not sure how stable it is and I do not believe it in
Django trunk yet.
