I did this a while back https://github.com/DonaldMcC/pronto which was a small and very simple way to send commands direct from web2py server to an arduino which was controlling a cubetto prototype. I appreciate this is not your current use case but thought I'd share in any case.
Cubtetto became a kickstart project at the following site https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/primotoys/cubetto-hands-on-coding-for-girls-and-boys-aged-3 but there were previous links on how to build the prototype. This side of things worked fine and I could send commands from a tablet or whatever to the arduino. The web2py side was simple but there were a few issues with getting the jointjs library working and I haven't tested it with latest versions of this so there might be issues.
