Try me

Tell me more

• this is a work in progress and not stable
• uses pyDAL (same DAL as web2py)
• uses yatl (same template language as web2py but defaults to [[...]] instead of {{...}} delimiters)
• uses the same validators as web2py (they are in pyDAL)
• uses the very similar helpers to web2py (A, DIV, SPAN, etc.)
• supports multiple apps under applications/ folder (same as web2py)
• request, response objects are from bottle (https://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/)
• sessions are encrypted jwt in cookies, and they must be small
• only supports cache.memoize (in Ram but O(1) access)
• unlike web2py, web3py is py3 only
• unlike web2py, web3py does not use custom import or eval
• dynamic module reloading is only partially supported
• there is no i18n yet (WIP)
• there is no admin yet (WIP)
• there is no appadmin yet (WIP)
• there is no Auth logic yet (WIP)
• there are no SQLFORM/grid/smartgrid (should there be? should they be in JS only?)
• there are not enough tests
• it is not as good as web2py yet, but it is 10-20x faster

Warning

The code in site-packages is only there for development to make sure web3py uses the correct development version of pydal sinc pydal on pypi is outdated and we have unable to update it.
