This seems to be a fundamental question. Perhaps look at http://www.web2py.com/book/default/section/1/6 and read section 1. In general, this will be the same kind of information with most _any_ web app server (not just web2py, not just python; for example, look at http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.0.1/overview, or http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/intro/overview/#intro-overview) Some frameworks do less, are lightweight, and leave more to you to do (http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/ perhaps; a simple HTML page, or text shown in a browser is perhaps a decay to the most straightforward); Some structure the big picture of the solution for you more (e.g. http://plone.org/); But the underlying question you ask is fundamental about the current structure of web-based applications in a TCP/IP world. Draw a map out of the "territory" (literally - Massimo had a nice map in his early book of calls and how they from thru web2py; maybe he can point us to it)... Then you will see you are asking this sort of question: - I want to share information on the web; - I want it to be dynamic (i.e. a static html page & page editor won't do); - I do _not_ want to have to do all it takes on my own (e.g. just write my own dynamic web app, with no more pre-existing support & structure than simply Python provides); - I therefore have to choose an appropriate "sweet spot" - a framework that provides the level of support for my work (so I have less to do) and lets me quickly and flexibly accomplish what I want with minimal work. - Regardless of _how_ I choose to go, I will have to understand web application deployment (for even for a static HTML page, I have to somehow serve it); Have fun - work locally; then deploy to your web service provider with their help (i.e., start with "canned" or pre-scripted solutions so you have less to worry about at first).
