Dear Anand, I am using webpy to teach art and design students web development. It is great because there is hardly any "magic", you just write python classes and the template language is also python. The simplicity is definitely great. I especially found that the database abstraction layer is easy for the students to understand. Deployment on the server is easy, we use cgi or fastcgid if a project becomes popular.
Not so nice is boilerplate code for session initialization during debugging mode. This should just be built-in. The documentation is kinda awful http://webpy.org/docs/0.3/api is just truncated after "class Template(self, text, filename='" ... luckily there is hardly anything to learn apart from python itself. I found out there is a problem with sending email encoded in UTF8. Apart from that this is a great tool. Students built good stuff with it. I used webpy for a rather complex art project here: http://1x-upon.com/ It would have never been possible to do all the required "wrong" stuff so easily with more advanced frameworks. For different internal research projects, I am always using webpy. Anand, thanks for keeping this nice software alive :) Bests, Dragan Am 27.10.2013 23:12, schrieb Anand Chitipothu: > Hi, > > I would like to know who is using web.py, what they like about it and what > features they wish to have.
