Yeah, that's what I was getting at. That makes sense. Can I use web.py
to code the install script and do the database updates and such if
it's not going to be served through the web server? Would I just not
do the app.run and code all the necessary updates procedurally?
Like, instead of of if __name__ == "__main__": app.run().... if
__name__ == "__main__": db.insert('users'....)
