An open source integrated software for development with RAD and

maybe he can explain in more detail the features of the project.
Thanks for that - definitely worth a mention.
However, what I'm more focused on is being able to point people using
their existing development tools towards some docs that they'll
understand.
I have a couple of files (one for models, one for controllers), with a
great long list of imports and what have you to support the editing
process, and I import from those files. It works fine for me, but it's
not pretty, and it rather undermines Massimo's statement in the book
that "web2py is trying to avoid the annoying characteristic of other
frameworks that force the developer to import the same modules at the
top of every model and controller" if I'm doing exactly that to support
editing, even if the code is "dead" in production!
In reality, I've been asked to give a short informal talk to a friendly
group, but the intemperate nature of some of the negative comments
about web2py makes me feel like an ambassador for web2py venturing into
potentially hostile territory...
