"Great balance between large feature set and shallow learning curve"

4.5/5

What do you like best about web2py?

I've built python web apps in Flask and dabbled in Django before and Web2Py seems to fit right in between both of those frameworks.

I love the admin screen showing the Models, Views, and Controllers and what other components they interact with for your app.

I like that you can do some of the editing in the admin view and not have to use a text editor to make changes, save them, then refresh.

Compatible with most database systems

Easy to set up

Uncluttered set up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about web2py?

My biggest gripe is that it can be difficult to make apps talk to each other like Django can.

Also, even though it can be easier for someone to spin up a quick web app, my fear is that this makes it easier to gloss over some of the important foundations of how the app functions or how everything works together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering web2py:

Make sure your application isn't better served on another framework. Chances are that Web2Py will work for your project, but other frameworks have features that shouldn't be overlooked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is web2py solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Web2Py, I'm able to spin up web applications faster than with other frameworks, saving me time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
