First of all, I think it is great that we finally start the discussion about the future of web.py
So let's go: PROs: The Simplicity: Web.py is simple to use, especially for beginners BUT for experts it has all the things needed to develop stuff yourself. Database Module: It's extremly simple to use CONs: Further Development: The Web changes so should web.py I would love to see: Memcached session module (there are some out there, we should add it to master) Google App Engine && Amazon Web Services Integration (maybe even heroku) (they have specific needs for saving stuff and database handling) Also I think the Templating System is quite good. But I agree with Primoz: : something like $endfor would make it even easier to use Oh and I think that the forms plugin could need some work. As custom css is quite hard to use (Bootstrap) Yannik Am Sonntag, 15.
