One more clarification to avoid confusion. Django has "admin" and it
is great. Web2py also has something called "admin" but that is not
apples to apples.

The closest thing to Django "admin" in web2py is called "appadmin" (it
comes with it).

For example consider the following complete program:

    db=DAL('sqlite://test.sqlite)
    db.define_table('person',Field('name'))

appadmin is a controller that comes with each web2py app and provides
a web based interface to the database, that can be customized at the
app level, and that inherits the layout of the app.

The Django "admin" can be customized more and it is designed for
users. It is very sleek. The web2py "appadmin" is designed for the
administrator not users, and allows you to insert DAL queries
directly.

web2py also has something called "admin" which has nothing to do with
Django "admin". It is instead a web based IDE including web based
tools for installing apps remotely, packaging apps, editing apps,
debugging, running doctests, etc. via the web interface.
