No questions are stupid. I'm no expert but I'll coment on what I know. Web2py runs officially in python 2.5. Don't know how hard it would be to put web2py running on 2.6.
You don't need the binary package to run web2py, you can run it directly from python (execute file web2py.py) >>python web2py.py Because you can do so, I believe you can package it in a binary form using tools like py2exe. Backward compatibility claim is just related to the fact that code changes to web2py don't break webapplications written for web2py. I believe web2py will have to support python2.6 eventually but don't know when. Python 3.x support is even farther away. Py3k is a different language, it has some details that break existing code base and, as such, all the code has to be ported. It won't happen overnight. Doesn't the code you wrote for python 2.6 run in 2.5? Maybe it does and you can integrate it easily with web2py (instead of integrating web2py with what you have).
