I was thinking, just by how often I go back to Web2Py, what an excellent framework it is and
the progress of Py4Web is also exciting, while also noticing how the pydal/yatl based framework Weppy/Emmet is evolving, 
that really there is no need anymore to think in terms of the future of a single framework. 

I feel like Web2Py has evolved into its own family sort of like: 

Web2Py - the opinionated full stack low code enterprise framework
Py4Web - the api first flexible microframework with some batteries included
Emmet/Weppy - the opinionated small scale framework

I myself also used PyDal and Yatl with Flask which also worked nice. 

I feel like the PyDal/Yatl combination has evolved into its own ecosystem that can share a great deal of code
you can easily switch from one to the other depending on your use case and can happily co-exist.. no? 

Almost felt like finding a name for the PyDal/Yatl based type of frameworks which contrast the Django/ORM and SQLAlchemy/Almembic world of frameworks 
and shine through ease of use compared to those.

I'm curious about your comment on Weppy/Emmet evolving.  Looks like there has been only 1 commit in the past 16 months or so (it is possible I'm reading that wrong).  What do you know about their progress.  Also, I'd love to be able to use PyDAL as classes as used in weppy (while not taking away the current capabilities).  That would be a great step forward.

Hey Jim, 

Weppy is now re-named to Emmet:

Thanks Kevin, I saw that, but other than the name change seems like not much activity.  Any other activity on it?  Seems like a nice framework.

Thanks for that Kevin, I'd missed it.
