Hi, I started playing around with web2py the other day for a new project. I really like the structure and the whole concept which feels like a breath of fresh air after spending a few years with PHP frameworks. The only thing (currently) that is bothering me is the ticketing system. Each time I make a misstake a page with a link to a t...

I got a project in mind that makes it worth to finally take the plunge into programming. After reading a lot of stuff, here and elsewhere, I'm set on making Python the one I learn for now, over C# or java. What convinced me the most was actually Paul Graham's excursions on programming languages and Lisp, though Arc is in the experiment...
I have been playing with python and different web frameworks. I started with Django, but am not in so deep that I am entrenched. I really quite like python but have not found that "perfect" web solution. My qualifications of perfect would be: simple to learn/code simple to host (my webhost, Site5, isn't exactly python-friendly) wide...
If so, What is the advantage ? (sure it will avoid restarting webserver). But isn't it a perfomance bottleneck? For production, is it possible to make web2py run directly from bytecode skipping interpreting stage (Caching) (except for the first request) ? ...

Hi, I have just started working on web2py. Personally, I find it easier to learn than Django. My query is that I have to load a file at application startup. Its a pickled hashtable. Where should I store this file so that the system is able to see it My code is : import cPickle as pickle def index(): """ Load the file into memo...

While digging deeper into it i found it is not creating `any connections in the application layer. well then how does it communicate with browsers without http? (I have heard of web2py ...
