web2py on Android

web2py runs on Android - I've tested it with my Motorola Defy. The only problems, I discovered until now concerns the cache:

1. gluon/cache.py uses the python standard library shelve. And shelve on Android uses dumbdbm instead of anydbm as normally on unix systems, this leads to problems in creating new database files for caching - in web2py therefor in creating applications. I solved this with a short workaround of cache.py (see cache.patch) and a default cache-archive (see cacheStart.tar). This is still a workaround, because this problem should be solved by shelve in the standard library and not by web2py !

2. additionally cache problems on Android is caused by the disk cache functionality - I haven't looked into this problem in detail, because web2py works also without disk caching and the normal use-case for web2py on Android is for single-users - it does not makes any sense to use it as a server for more than one user
