It sounds as nice master-plan. I'd like to contribute, but I'm afraid if web2py noob can be competent enough to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I want to have nice platform to allow me to easily build small-medium web sites ranging from site for our small company, non-profit organization, private one, sites for friends, relatives etc. At the moment for some of them I use PHP solutions (e.g. Concrete5) and although I like the platform providing decent CMS, nice blog and plethora of add-ons, there are some gotchas: 1) it's PHP into which I do not want to go (considering we'll soon start work on pyqt desktop app) and prefer to stay with Python 2) the code/environment is not as nicely organized 3) almost every add-on is commercial and along with 1) we lack ability to customize/build everything according to our needs Those reasons have brought me to Python where I tried/played with Django for some time, but, somehow 'nothing clicked in my brain' and I have arrived to Web2py which satisfy 1-3 above. :-) Of course, Web2py CMS (e.g Instant Press) is not as feature-wise as Concrete5, blog is not capable as e.g. C5's Pro Blog, there are not so many add-ons (plugins) as for C5, but we're thinking about the future. However, we're ready to learn and master web2py and help to become even better platform for developing (small-medium) sites offering many free plugings so that one an easily achieve everything as with e.g. Concrete5 by using secure Python framework. So I would say that it depends in what you have to do, web2py could save you a lot of time... just give it a try for a full small project and then you will be able to give back your opinions...

[web2py] criticism of web2py
Hello! I'm starting with python web2py and yesterday visited Hello, I'm starting with Python Web2Py and yesterday visited one python-related project channel where I mentioned web2py and as the consequence I was quickly advised to abandon it due to 'non-Pythonic' etc. This is not the first time I hear people criticise web2py due to, amongst other things, breaking Explicit is better than implicit. principle alothough Massimo nicely explains it in the introduction of web2py book. I played for sometime with the Haskell, but eventuall abandon it due to not being pragmatic enough for daily use (e.g. all GUI bindings are maintained by few people only). The same situation was/is with D. Now, I see Python as very pragmatic language, with lot of 'batteries included' and very suitable for all kinds of tasks, so I wonder waht is the real reason of web2py criticism: a) stubborness of (python) people to see that Explicit is better than implicit. is not engraved in stone and can be violated to keep DRY, b) envy of web2py's success c) something else? As far as I'm concerned, I do not care much 'cause I'm accustomed to do things which are not mainstream, but just curios what do you think?

[web2py] what is web2py equivalent of django's reusable app
More than two and half years ago I played with Django and became enamored by hearing high-selling points about (Django's) re-usable apps. However, real life was not so thrilling and I went back to PHP. iWhen I did return to Python/Django I experienced (again) apps which use the same reusable app (mptt) but not compatible versions. :-/ Now when I signed for web2py, I'm curious what would be web2py's equivalent of reusable app in Django or it cannot be clearly translated and the truth is somewhere in between, e.g. combination of plugin, component etc.? I'm curios to clarify it since I have ideas for some web2py stuff which atm exist in the form of several django-xyz apps and attempt to provide something of it for web2py might be worthy learning experience.

Hello, for my present PHP web sites I use Piwik (http://piwik.org/) - open source web analytics software.

They should be focused and follow the Unix philosophy of Do one thing and do it well. (from http://ericholscher.com/projects/django-conventions/app/) If that's the case, then web2py already provides this.

The difference is not just in the terminology. In one web2py instance you can run as many apps as you like even if they contain different conflicting version of the same modules. In Django you need distinct projects, i.e.distinct instances. Heh, it seems that I've had good smell to choose one over another. :-) Web2py plugins are less structured than Django reusable apps. It is a relatively new concept and there is not many of them. i When we're on this topic...can we say that component is something like (custom) content-type which can be put on the page and one can use several of such (content-type) blocks on one page? Some CMS-es are fond of inline-editing feature where one can move those blocks around, edit them etc. Personally, I do not find it is required to have it Sincerely, Gour For example Django+Pinax is loosely equivalent to web2py+plugin_wiki.

Some plugins define components (plugin_wiki does) and some do not.
Interesting...
A component is a set of models/views/controller designed to work
together.
For example consider a web2py file controllers/plugin_calculator.py
which contains
def adder():
form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('a','integer'),Field('b','integer'))
c = (form.vars.a+form.vars.b) if form.accepts(request) else '...'
return DIV(form,'result=',c)
The file is the plugin. The function is the component. It is a
component because anywhere in your app you can do:
{{=LOAD('plugin_calculator','adder',ajax=True)}}
and embed the component into any page.
Thanks a lot for illustration.
Typically components are more complex but are used and packaged in the same
way.
Ahh...I believe I got it..There are Component plugins' are plugins that define
components. and that makes difference between 'just plugin'. I'm anxious to
see new version of paper book to buy it asap!!
Web2py is so well-designed that I'm really impressed. ;)

[web2py] deploying few web2py sites
Hello,
I believe that we'll settle on Web2py (over Django) for our future web needs
(moving from PHP to Python) and I'm not 100% clear how does deployment with
Web2Py go...iow, does one install one instance of web2py and install specific
app for each site, e.g. {app1,app2,app3} or it is required to e.g. install 3
different instances of web2py each having app{1,2,3} installed?
Considering that for running django on our host provider, we can use uwsgi in
emperor mode to speak with nginx (running as reverse proxy), we wonder what
would be setup to run several web2py sites?
Sincerely,
Gour

[web2py] CMS+blog+shop for web2py
Hello!
I'd like to replace few of my PHP sites sites with Python technology in order
to be able to tweak them according to our needs and we prefer Python for PHP.
Basically, my needs are to have decent CMS+blog+shop which can be tweaked
easily and, so far, I was looking at Django along with two possibilities:
1) Django-CMS + Zinnia blog engine + django-shop and
2) Mezzanine + Cartridge shop.
Both have enough features for our needs and we hope they're extensible enough
so that we can plumb some other django apps, customize the combo and we'd have
to write custom payment (form-based) module for one of the above shops.
Now, I've heard some nice stories about Web2Py and wonder if it fits in the
same league of frameworks as Django and if there are some CMS+blog+shop apps
written for it which are ready to use and tweak instead of writing everything
from the scratch?
Or is it better to use Django considering there are more ready/mature apps
available?
I'm ready to learn the framework, but I simply do not have time to develop
maintain all the required components, but prefer using available ('reusable')
apps and combine 'em to get final sites (we need few of them).
Sincerely,
Gour
