I apologize in advance but I thought some of the rails users may be  
interested in this…

I just released web2py 1.20

```

```

and a 45min tutorial here:

```

New features include the inclusion of a web based testing framework -  
a screenshot is here:

```

```

pyamf howto, rest support, handler for lighttpd/fcgi, WIKI helper,  
etc. AND it is always backward compatible since 1.0.

The source code is also on

```
   code.google.com/p/web2py

Here are a dozen of ready made applications which you can install  
from the web interface without coding.
