Models, Views and Controllers as classes, so you can mixin new behavior without copy-paste Environment modes (development, testing, production) Better plugin semantics (versioning, dependencies) Use WSGI middleware to customize applications (caching, routes, exception handling) Fix template nesting bug Named routes, RESTful routes MVC caching > 4) How does it compare do other web frameworks that you have used?" Web2py is the most productive and thanks to GAE most scalable framework I have seen, but making web2py more productive requires changes that break backwards compatibility, so you need version 2.0 or a new framework...
