Roadmap for python3

  1. investigate port to py4web (the evolution of web2py: https://github.com/web2py/py4web)
  2. for the time being try to continue using with python 2.
  3. if using the postgres database backend need to use older psycopg2 (to avoid postgres RuntimeError: No driver of supported ones ('psycopg2',) is available)
sudo apt update
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py
sudo python2 get-pip.py
pip2 install psycopg2-binary
