Hi guys, Just started learning web2py (have basic python understanding and played with Django before). First of all wanted to say its really a nice change from Django (horrible learning curve)
While reading the book I did encounter some problems (and had some suggestions) - I understand some of the core development team is present and thought you might find this helpful. 1. Chapter 02 (help/dir) I entered the python interpreter using ./web2py.app/Contents/MacOS/ web2py -S welcome (mac) and while it loads fine it does not recognize the help(1) command. gives the following error: "Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'help' is not defined" running the same command on my virtualenv works fine. 2. Chapter 03 (admin interface) 1. Images of the site/admin panel do not match the actual visuals. There are some differences to the install process (new simple application + new application wizard) not a huge problem but might be worth fixing 2. I was not asked for an admin password after restarting the server (according to the book you will need to reenter it on every login) 3. "You can configure the defaul" should be default General suggestion Links to web2py commands (such as session) should open in a new window. Show an alert if a user leaves the edit screen after making changes to the code without saving (I actually fell for that a few times) Chapter 03 - Adding a summery after every project (the move from the image blog to the Wiki is very sharp) also possibly divide each project to its own subchapter (separate html)
