Hi! We're thinking of migrating from Ruby on Rails to web2py, but have some concerns about making the switch:
1. Does web2py officially support Python 2.6.2? Our standard server configurations use Python 2.6.2 and we don't want to install/support two pythons. 2. Are web2py security fixes/updates timely and backwards compatible? We can't upgrade to major new (incompatible) versions just to get security fixes. 3. What is web2py's release & support policy? How long is each major version of web2py supported with secuirty & bug fixes before being retired? An official policy like Ubuntu would help ease concerns on the enterprise because it makes planning ahead easy. 4. What is web2py's recommended plugin/library to use Paypal IPN? This needs to be stable--not bet--since it deals with monetary transactions. FWIW, one important reason looking for alternatives to Ruby On Rails is security. We want to easily fix underlying security issues with the language and the framework. But we don't see a way to get automatic & fast security updates on Ruby On Rails without backwards compatibility concerns. If Ruby (the language) and RoR (the framework) had an official release policy similar to Ubuntu, we probably wouldn't be looking at alternatives. So I'm hoping other frameworks don't make the same mistake. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
