Why wouldn't a web2py serve to handle a website on the order of youTube? Why couldn't an IBM handle their corporate intranet as well as their extranet with web2py? Is web2py missing something in particular? Is it missing something critical that can't be built?
For sure, it is the only framework that I've researched that allows 1 person to do it all. Extraordinary software is more the hallmark of small teams than behemoths. This is why I think web2py is will enable work of integrity, consistency and performance. And python puts vast functionality within the reach of many. Enterprise is defined as "a project undertaken or to be undertaken, esp. one that is important or difficult or that requires boldness or energy." It isn't easy, but one person can change the world. Web2py makes it substantially easier for that one person. On Jun 3, 10:33 pm, Eric Florenzano <flo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > 1) Don't worry about whether Web2Py is 'Enterprise Ready'.
