I recall setting up other frameworks in a Windows environment were extremely painful 🙂
It’s actually extremely easy to set up web2py on Windows — it will literally take you about a minute. Just go to the download page, download the “For Windows” version, unzip the downloaded file, and click the ‘web2py.exe’ file in the ‘web2py’ folder. Voilà — you’re running web2py and ready to build an app. You don’t even have to have Python installed on your system because the Windows version includes its own Python interpreter. It also comes with the SQLite RDBMS and its own web server. It has no dependencies and requires no installation (you can even run it from a thumb drive).
Note, if you want to use your own installation of Python instead of the interpreter included with the Windows version of web2py, you can download the source code version of web2py instead. It’s just as easy to set up (just download and unzip), but instead of a ‘web2py.exe’ file, there is a ‘web2py.py’ file that you’ll click to start the server (you can also enter ‘python web2py.py’ at a command prompt).
If you have any questions, you’ll get lots of help from the mailing list.
