Can someone explain to me why someone would want to use web2py with Bottle? I am considering the combination.
Is it for when you want to keep the app very simple but need some of the more advanced functionality of Web2py such as the DAL? I am trying to learn web programming and wonder if this might be a good place to start. I find the full-blown web2py a little intimidating especially since I can't find what I am looking for in the documentation. I find Bottle the opposite. Too sparse. For example, I don't mind making forms but don't really want to write SQL queries. I am coming from a (short) background in Wordpress so I am looking for something like that but in Python and better for web app development. Bottle feels like building a webapp from the bottle up. Web2py feels like building it from the top down, (i.e. take the example apps and reverse engineer them to what you want). I guess I would like something in the middle. Wordpress wasn't THAT bad but I want easier CRUD and would rather ditch PHP. Web2py is supposed to be easier than Django but Django has so much better documentation, books etc that I might find this the opposite. Suggestions? Dave
