The web application format would be the equivalent of a .war file in the Java world, or whatever you have to provide for Google App Engine: a collection of your application code and static configuration that could be easily deployed on a compliant web server. For example you might be able to express that your application needs a PostgreSQL database, or space on the filesystem, or some other set of services and the deployment system might be able to provision those for you.
The goal would be to be able to copy your application over to a web server and expect it to run without having to worry about configuring the server as much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
