Hello, I'm starting to learn Python and have need for, hopefully, not too complicated web app which should allow admin to upload multimedia files (mostly *.mp3 files) to the server and provide private download area for each user. I anticipate to have 10 - 20 active users at a time and it's very important that each user does not have access to files in other users' area.
It would be also convenient to signal to the admin when certain user download some of the files from his/her private area. Let me say that there are not so many hits/day required to be server, but more important is not to use too much memory - I'm on simple Webfaction plan and do not plan to use my own VPS (recently switched back from Linode). How do you feel the above task is suitable for web2py? I'm considering some other options like: b) Bottle c) Flask but the main thing is easy of learning/usage with the framework? Another concern is that some other Python-powered apps I intend to use *all* work or are py3k-only. I use Nikola static-site-generator which has support for Mako and Jinja2 templates and since web development is not my bread'n'butter, it would be easier not to "switch gears too much", so Bottle's & and Flask's advantage might be py3k-compatibility as well as support for both mako/jinja which is same as with Nikola's support. Afaict, web2py's templates might be closer to Mako. However, it might be that with web2py one is required to write *much* less code, but that's what I'm curious to know about, so if there is someone somewhat familiar with all three frameworks, if you can share some wisdom?
