I disagree with your criterial of looking at previous qualifications of the developer but by your own criteria you should love web2py. Yes, developing the ORM was very very easy compared to, for example, developing www.fermiqcd.net (BTW we

SQLAlchemy is better than the web2py ORM in dealing with legacy databases. web2py has restrictions in this case. But the web2py ORM is much better integrated with the rest of the framework than SQLAlchemy is integrated with, for example, Py

Three other people came to pick up the rules and some more were on the mailing list, were supposed to and didn't. I spent 24 hours coding and felt like a fool when nobody else delivered. You are taking a quote I made to my users' group out

Being a professor who teaches the stuff for a living and grades other people's work, you remind me of that typical PhD student that knows enough to talk about his work but nothing enough in detail to ever graduate. No offense. Let me add th

Can you make any specific point so that it can be addressed or are you just ranting as usual? Who is doing marketing here? Since when computer science is about faith?

"enterprise" does not mean it is developed by an enterprise. It means it was developed for the enterprise. For one thing it means it is stable and always backward compatible. It also means it packages everything you need including support

The Flourish conference was sponsored by Google. The creators of Django, CackePHP and Rails were on the mailing list and some even replied to it. I agree that if nobody else participated it is not a victory. I would not say web2py won, I wo

Are you still upset with web2py because I did not include your package. Com'on. Grow up. web2py is a project grown in a university, it is all but marketing. Unless free good documentation is called marketing. Here is the latest draft manual

This funny because when web2py started we aimed at being small like web.py. In fact the core web2py functionalities (from gluon import *) are very similar to web.py and the entire core is less the 120KB. Ocan still use it that low level and

True: compiling is obfuscation, not encryption but, the same argument applies to Java, VB, etc. Even compiled C++ can be disassembled. Anyway, web2py inlines some stuff before bytecode compiling so if you decompile a compiled web2py app you

web2py used to be called Gluon so it is new but not too new. The main reason for bytecode compiling in web2py is that, for each page, the template+layout+included views are converted into a single bytecode compiled file. That means that whe
