As already mentioned in this thread, you can use web2py with any CSS framework without modifying any web2py internal code. web2py includes some built-in formstyles and grid UI styles for Bootstrap 2 and Bootstrap 3, but you can create your own formstyles and grid UI styles without any internal modifications.
If you upgrade your version of web2py, you will find the newer version has some additional built-in Bootstrap 3 formstyle options, but you could just as easily copy those new formstyle functions from gluon.sqlhtml.py for use in your app code. Similarly, the newer version automatically adds Bootstrap 3 classes to the grid, but again, you can simply copy those for use in your app (it's just a dict that gets passed as the "ui" parameter to the grid). In general, it won't be any more difficult dealing with a custom Bootstrap 3 theme that you purchase than dealing with a custom Bootstrap 2 theme (or a theme based on any other CSS framework). It may take some work, but there's nothing especially problematic about Bootstrap 3 or especially easy about Bootstrap 2.
