Just as feedback: web2py comes on the mac as application bundle web2py.app (excellent!). Its natural place (where the user puts it, same as all other apps) is /Applications/web2py.app
web2py now puts at runtime all its files and data into the application-bundle, which is quite a no-no on Mac. The application-bundle should never change (except for updates). Neither preferences nor user data belong in there. So what is the "Resources" folder in the app-bundle, the better place would be ~/Library/Application\ Support/web2py inside the user folder. Another place could be ~/Sites, but then care would have to be taken that the system's apache does not share the web2py folders. 1) The user would never expect data in /Applications (I did not even cross my mind web2py could put its stuff there - i had to create a file in the GUI and search for it). 2) Stuff in /Applications does normally not get backuped 3) With all in ~/Library web2py is multi-user capable as any other app. If this is for now too much work to implement, please at least put a prominent info next to the download link and the server gui. It's really not obvious on Mac.
