Introduction to Eden
Framework - Web2py
Web2py is an enterprise framework for agile development of secure database-driven web-based applications, written and programmable in Python.web2py is a full-stack framework, meaning that it contains all the components you need to build fully functional web applications.[1]
Features of Web2py [1]
web2py includes a Database Abstraction Layer (DAL) that writes SQL dynamically so that you, the developer, don't have to. The DAL knows how to generate SQL transparently for SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, FireBird, Oracle, IBM DB2, Informix and Ingres.
- The DAL can also generate function calls for the Google Datastore when running on the Google App Engine.
- web2py differs from other web frameworks in that it is the only framework to fully embrace the Web 2.0 paradigm, where the web is the computer.web2py does not require installation or configuration; it runs on any architecture that can run Python (Windows, Windows CE, Mac OS X, iOS, and Unix/Linux), and the development, deployment, and maintenance phases for the applications can be done via a local or remote web interface. web2py runs with CPython (the C implementation) and PyPy (Python written in Python), on Python versions 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7.
- web2py provides a ticketing system for error events. If an error occurs, a ticket is issued to the user, and the error is logged for the administrator.
- web2py is open source and released under the LGPL version 3 license.
