isapi-wsgi+web2py almost working

[Kirby Turner]

Hi All,

I'm very close to having web2py running under IIS using isapi-wsgi. I
have included below the isapi-wsgihandler.py file I created (see
below). It's based on web2py's own wsgihandler.py and has been
modified to include code needed for isapi-wsgi. I'll post to the FAQ
once I have everything working.

That said, I have encountered 1 problem not related to web2py. I've
searched everywhere for a solution but can't find one which is why I'm
posting this message. The problem I have is that python cannot load
the module _socket. The module is available in C:\Python26\DLLs\ and
that directory is included in the system path.

Any python-win32 pros out there know why the module cannot be imported
and what I must to fix the problem?

Thanks,

By the way, I should add that I have no problems running web2py.py
from the command line. My applications run fine. The import only
fails when I try to run with isapi-wsgi.

Think I found the problem. There is a known issue with Python 2.6.1
on Windows that is preventing the ISAPI Extension from loading .pyd.
The problem has been resolved and confirmed in Python 2.6.2 and 3.0.1
