Installation

[David Swarbrick]

Seeking to run web2py on a windows 10 machine

I downloaded and extracted all to a directory. I click on web2py.exe in that directory. 

It looks like it is throwing up a dos box, but the box just closes and exits.

I have python 3.7 installed elsewhere.

Any suggestion (please) where I might start?

Try run web2py.exe from cmd/shell to see an error

[David Swarbrick]

Many thanks

That worked so that I could see the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 6, in <module>
  File "__main__.py", line 128, in <module>
  File "__main__web2py__.py", line 33, in <module>
TypeError: start() takes no arguments (1 given)

I also tried the alternative suggestion on the installation page of running

python web2py.py

 . . but there is of course no such file in the directory. There are plenty of .pyd files (what are they?), but no .py files.

And again - many thanks

Thanks for reporting this.

Maybe there is something wrong with the one click installer at the moment. 

Just download the source version for normal users (py3) extract it and run python3 web2py.py.

That should get you going.

Hi,

unfortunately, web2py binaries on the official download page are currently not working at all. 

You can use my updated versions on https://github.com/nicozanf/web2py-pyinstaller until it'll be fixed.

as hotfix you can edit gluon/widget.py

# find 'start' at the end of file and add '**kw':
def start(**kw):

also I checked what is `kw` - it is  {cron:True}, i.e. it is not  important arg 

[Jobin Antony]

Its not python problem its frame work problem.... need to use a different frame work.

[Val K]

Yes, no binaries - no problems!
