As Mengu, but with different flavor: 1) easy as possible (you can write many details: DAL, forms, CRUD, templates etc.) 2) secure (web is dangerous, because of its openness, but with web2py easy to avoid many security problems) 3) fast and scalable (every part: the DAL, the core, the templates)

I ***LOVE*** the tight integration of web2py components. I ***LOVE*** the compactness of web2py. I ***HATE*** over-abstracted, over-engineered, over-complicated, Java- style enterprisey code. YAGNI, KISS, "less is more" are hard-earned parts of developer wisdom. Most of the web frameworks someho

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/54998/how-scalable-is-sqlite [...] there is nothing that prevents using an Sqlite database in a multi-user environment, but every transaction (in effect, every SQL statement that modifies the database) takes a lock on the file, which will prevent other users

This problem is definitely at Sqlite level. "Everything seems to be all right when I test it" == single user "but with as few as 2 simultaneous users I (sometimes) run into trouble" == database locked by transaction Sqlite has no problems with concurrency, it is a simple, fast, very high quality

I completely agree with Massimo sentence by sentence, and with Álvaro too. While I love Python and web development, I didn't fully love *web programming in Python*, because superfluously hard. Lots of boring repetitions, I *must* set too much options, many compatibility problems between framework

May I suggest an extended, CRUD style, plugin_name oriented interface, in a 'plugin' module? So we can use plugin.pack(your_app, w2p_filepath, plugin_name) to pack the given plugin into a w2p file at w2p_filepath; even better if w2p_filepath unambiguously define the plugin_name, so we

It would be good, if authors can give names to her/his plugins freely. If she/he use her/his (short)name as prefix (and each author's short name is unique), append '_', append a thematic part (for example 'auth'), finally a version part, then each version of each plugins has a unique

Storing images in database is a bad idea GENERALLY. But on GAE you can't write the file system, so you have no other choice for persistent storage. And you will see garbage instead of image if MIME type incorrect or unsetted. In general case the web server (e.g. Apache) will set it for you automa
