Just some comments about 4. Web2py was not meat as a teacher tool. Web2py was meant to enforce good practice and this made it a good teaching tool. Not quite the same. In fact web2py is based on WSGI and it does run on Heroku. There is a session in the manual about that. I never tried Iron.io or Azure but I am sure it runs there as any other WSGI server does.
