Have you worked through the examples at the beginning of the book? They are avery good way to start absorbing this: <URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/03/overview#Simple-examples> > Here is my requierement: > > A web interface to work with a couple of tables (preferably using > PostgreSQL or MySQL) and a workflow with a state machine to interact with > some network devices and a scheduler. > The Web interface will look at the inventory (DB table) to pick and start > a work flow using a scheduler. > It is certainly not a unique requirement and hence I need some readily > available open source web2py (or other?) code > Do I need any ansible kind of orchestration engines (for workflow) which > need to be integrated ?

I think there is a PySlice example of a work-flow application, but I haven't looked at it. The scheduler has some workflow support, but I don't know how helpful that is if you don't need the scheduler's handling of tasks that take a long time. Making specific recommendations may not be helpful without know more about your application.
