I'd rather stay out and limit myself to rectify incorrect statements if any. For example I'll say the documentation is not new. It has been there for 2 years, it's just that was not free and cost $12. It is actually old now. It still does not describe lots of new functionality and we are trying to

I've noticed that there have been a lot of things in common: Web2py _didn't_ have very good docs, at least relative to Django's (which are spectacular), but now that the Web2py book is available online, that issue is kind of moot. Admin -- Web2py has two different Admins, one which doesn't have a

I apologize for intruding and try not to be partisan. I will not list pros and cons since this is not the place for me to do so. I would just like to make clarifications about things being said: 1) web2py comes with a web based IDE but you do not have to use it. You can disabled it or can even rem

Thanks for the reply, Wiiboy. I agree that web2py is cool and Massimo is a good guy. I'm still comparing the two frameworks and don't have a lot of preferences to list yet, but so far I prefer the way the online Django tutorial is written to the Overview/tutorial chapter of the web2py book. I al

I've looked at it a couple of months ago. There are some great ideas behind it. Web2Py cons: 1. The first and biggest issue at the time was that there was no sufficient/accessible documentation available for free. The book was only available on scribd for free which is horrible. Now the book is av

First of all, I'd like to say that I think Web2py, and its maintainer Massimo, are awesome. =) I tried Web2py for a little while a couple months ago, but the biggest issue was poor documentation -- at the time, there was almost nothing. Now there's a whole book, online, but... Also, it was missi
