well, coding for a web app kind of **needs** different standards than coding a console program. Web2py itself is based on the MVC pattern, so it adds another layer of "different standards" patterns. It may sound overcomplicated comparing web2py to an ultra-basic console program like that, but you can do a lot more of things and be more productive once you grasp the general steps required.
Did you see by any chance the introduction chapter on the book (http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/01#Model-View-Controller) ? PS: Rewriting the program as a two pages form is kinda simple once you get how the web works, but if you don't know a single thing about, e.g., html, even if the code is really simple you'll get lost anyway.
