I have some sites that I implemented using Drupal. However as cool as
Drupal is I've never been satisfied with coding in it mostly because
it's in PHP and I've wanted to work with python. I've flirted with
Django but I just recently discovered web2py and it's definitely
caught my eye. Seems like it may be a sweet spot between Drupal and
Django. Although django-cms is also on my radar.

So now I'm wondering how to re-implement my sites with web2py. I've
started going through the web2py book but I'm trying to wrap my head
around some conceptual stuff.

Specifically suppose I have a site about DVD players. So in Drupal I'd
have a CCK (Content Creation Kit) type DVD player, with various
attributes. I guess this would correspond to a web2py model. How would
I implement something like Drupal's taxonomy which is like a tagging
system in web2py? Is there a module/plugin/appliance for that? Or am I
manually creating the model schema to handle tagging?

Secondly, how would you handle something like comments and/or reviews
on posts? Again, is there a pre-built plugin for this or do I have
roll my own?

Finally should I be looking at plugin wiki to handle some of this?
