These are encouraging. In large deployment I mean it in the most external sense of it. Facebook is big, myspace is big, those kinds of object were what I was aiming for. And with Massimo's comment about the database size. I think your right, the framework does become less relavent. In what ways in a large codebase making web2py code messier and is there a solution to it in another framework? BR, J On Sat, 2010-11-13 at 11:48 -0600, Thadeus Burgess wrote:
