Web2py

web2py is an open source full-stack framework for agile development of secure database-driven web-based applications, written and programmable in Python. Web2py was created in 2007 for Python 2.7. As of 2024 we support Python 3.9+ and no longer support earlier version. We do not recommend using Web2py for new projects but we recommend upgrading to py4web ( also known as web3py. Web2py and Py4web share template language, pydal, rocket3 and similar design phylosophy. web2py.2.27.1 is the last version supporting Python 2.7. web2py 3.x only supports Python 3.9+ and it is in limited maintenance mode.
