Ask HN: Do sites that use python like spotify and dropbox use a framework?

I am not sure about Spotify and Dropbox. I do know disqus uses django. Ref - <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/zeeg/djangocon-2010-scaling-disqus" rel="nofollow">http://www.slideshare.net/zeeg/djangocon-2010-scaling-disqus</a>
