I missed the last few sections when I pasted in my response :-)

- web2py uses the DAL as documented here: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web2py#Database_handling;
why is an ORM needed?

- web2py has excellent IDE support through Eclipse and Wing IDE.
Maybe we need more details on his issue.

- As he rightly points out the single-core question is an interpreter
limitation of sorts and really has nothing to do with web2py.  That
having been said, you can easily set up multiple instances and load-
balance them.  All of which is heavily documented in the scalability
section of the web2py book.
