Hello, I am new to the group: Hi all!
I am evaluating web2py to use it on a project, and I like it very much so far, but I am not (yet) a python guru. Let me explain a little bit what I want to do, I have several embedded machines, which I would like to program issuing shell commands which call applications on the localhost. In the same host I was planning to deploy web2py as a front-end, so I can trigger the commands (not yet defined - maybe wget some files and flash to device). I am planning to attach all the front-end to a remote or local database, so I can keep track of software versions and some more data. I would like to ask you for advice if web2py is suitable for such project and how could I tackle the part of running shell commands when clicking on the interface buttons? (Should I just fill code with os.system() all over the place or is there some plugin I should use instead - which is recommended?) Kind regards and TIA, -- Héctor Orón "Our Sun unleashes tremendous flares expelling hot gas into the Solar System, which one day will disconnect us."
