Web.py Introduction
Web.py is a free and open source web application framework that is as simple as it is powerful. Web.py was originally published while Aaron swartz worked at reddit.com, where the site used it ass it grew to become one of the top 1000 sites according to Alexa and served millions of daily page views. "It's the anti-framework framework. web.py doesn't get in your way." explained founder Steve Huffman.
The web.py slogan is: "Think about the ideal way to write a web app. Write the code to make it happen.". The goal of web.py is to build the ideal way to make web apps. In web.py, Instead of exposing Python objects, it allows you to build HTTP responses. Instead of trying to make the database look like an object, web.py makes the database easier to use. And instead of coming up with yet another way to write HTML, the web.py template system tries to bring Python into HTML.
