Web2py Framework
Web2py is a free open source full-stack framework for rapid development of fast, scalable, secure and portable database-driven web-based applications written in Python.[1]
Background
Web2py was originally introduced as a teaching tool to used to demonstrate ease of use and deployment. It was modeled after Ruby on Rails and Django, and as such focuses on rapid development and adheres to the Model View Controller architecture pattern.
Here are some of the features of Web2py[2][3]:
- Web2py runs on Windows, Mac, Unix/Linux, Google App Engine, Amazon EC2, and almost any web hosting via Python 2.5/2.6/2.7/pypy, or Java with Jython.
- Accessible anywhere, without any installation required
- Open source under an LGPL 3.0 License
- Supports multiple databases including: SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, FireBird, Oracle, IBM DB2, Informix, Ingres, and Google App Engine
- Equipped with a Data Abstraction Layer that removes the requirement of knowing how to write SQL by doing it for you in real-time
- Role-based authorization of resources
- Error logging and ticketing system
- An web-based administrative interface for ease of interaction
Examples
There are several websites currently powered by Web2py, including a website hosting the ever-popular game Minesweeper.
