These sorts of things will eventually be possible with TiddlyWeb but a pre-packaged distribution hasn't been built yet. There's at least three reasons for that: * I've been personally prioritizing other things. * Nobody else has stepped forward to do it. * We're still finding bugs in the core of TiddlyWeb and since it seems likely that a pre-packaged installation will be upgraded less often than one that uses common Python upgrade procedures, it makes sense to not have one available until it is fairly stable. Right now there's a new release of TiddlyWeb about once a week (in fact it is time for another one). > I've never went as far as to learn to use ruby on rails or python.

At the moment, working with TiddlyWeb does require some experience with running and installing Python programs. This will become less and less true with time as packaging improves (as above) and as people start releasing system that are build on top of TiddlyWeb. Also at some point managed server hosting of TiddlyWeb is going to be possible. This is something I've been working on, on and off, for a while, but there are still some UI issues and scalability issues to address. If there are people out there who are chomping at the bit for a hosted TiddlyWeb offering please contact me so we can work on this together. > - Anyway, I've read that the Jquery library is a part of > web2py, and that you can setup your own applications and databases - > and serve html-pages from it - so I ask: Has anyone tried to setup > TiddlyWeb as an application with Web2Py? web2py looks very interesting but is not something that would host TiddlyWeb as an application. In the stack of services, applications, types of code and such, TiddlyWeb and web2py occupy the same place: they are both web application servers. Even if one wanted to make TiddlyWeb run within or alongside web2py it would still require the installation of TiddlyWeb's dependencies so web2py all-in-one benefit would be lost. On the other hand, someone who was particularly interested could re- implement the TiddlyWeb HTTP API[1] on web2py. This would be well within TiddlyWeb's original remit, which was to create a reference for such an API. > I didn't find any documentation on if Web2Py is an OpenSource project > - but it looks pretty open though - Heres a link to a description of > it's API:http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/examples/default/api There's info here: http://www.web2py.com/examples/default/download about licensing, downloading and source availability.
