web2py.py is the main wrapper for presenting the widget and starting the rocket webserver (fine for development and small-sized intranets). In production, web2py.py is not used, because the actual web application doesn't need a widget and runs on a separate "production-ready" webserver (actually, it runs behind a webserver (in your case, nginx), that communicates with uwsgi that is the daemon executing the python code and passing to the webserver the response in "wsgi format").
There are handlers for practically all webservers (look at the /handlers dir), and in your particular case (uwsgi daemon "mode"), the code gets executed in wsgihandler.py, that in turns calls gluon/main.py, the real "executor" that "holds" all the logic for executing merely the web application, without the "bells and whistles" of the "development mode". Sorry for the multiple quotes ^_^ If anything remains unclear, please ask.
