What is a web.py browser application?

A killer application is an application that creates a famous library or framework. I think web.py is pretty famous, but I don’t know a big, widely used application written in web.py.

Could you please indicate? I have a head that the first version of youtube.com was encoded using web.py, but I would like you to mention open source so that I can see its code.

From web.py , the website is a list of "Real Web Applications" written on the web page. None of them have yet become the next twitter.

  • redditriver.com : mobile version of reddit.com
  • webme : blogging and podcasting system
  • webr : flickr photo gallery
  • http://www.colr.org/ (v5): website for playing with flowers.
  • todo: a simple web.py example where you can create, delete, and edit an element in place
  • music-share : a simple web-based application for sharing music (mp3 files).
  • Google Modules : An iGoogle Gadget directory written in MVC style.
  • Mailer : A very simple mass mailing.
  • MLSS Admin : a system for evaluating, commenting and accepting candidates for conferences and sympathies.
  • Wikitrivia : randomly generated quizzes created using Wikipedia.

Well, when Reddit first moved from Common Lisp to Python, they used web.py ( src , src ). This made a pretty big splash at the time, which may explain some of its popularity. I must say, I think that Reddit has since left web.py in favor of Pylons.

The killer application is not necessarily determined by whether it is well-known. The Killer app is an app that destroys its industry in such a way that the rules or status quo of that industry change forever. For instance. iPhone

This is a "killer" because it "kills" market leaders in its industry.

A byproduct of the killer application is that the technology used to launch it has attracted the attention of the media. This inevitably happens because most developers (in our case) who work in the killer application industry want to keep abreast of the latest trends / concepts, etc ...

In the iPhone case: he sold millions; this means the iPhone is a cash cow; therefore developers flock; developers need to know which technology to use; more developers = more attention; etc...

Obviously, this is a brief description of what usually happens.

In any case ... Pylons are pretty good. It attracts a lot of attention because it is easily customizable, durable and focused on what is needed, which is fast development.

There are also Turbo Gears, but the latest version is built on Pylons anyway. Hope this helps.
