perhaps integrate it with this: http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/trunk/scripts/layout_make.py
It takes an html template with css and makes a web2py layout. It would be nice to make a "camelion" app that make web2py look like the site at a given url, at the click of a button. Ideally if you scrape forms it could also create an action per page and the code to generate the forms.
