Sorry it took so long.

Web2py 2.19.1 is finally out.

It contains many small bug fixes including better support for python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8

Thanks Massimo!

Please note that the binaries listed on http://www.web2py.com/init/default/download are supposed to be the new ones with Pyinstaller, but in fact they are the old broken ones.

I'm working for buiding the new binaries - you cannot just replace the sources inside because the main web2py.py program has been changed.

Hello,

the 2.19.1 web2py binaries are ready to be tested & used, with embedded Python 2.7.16 or 3.7.4. Grab them from my repository .

It has taken me a lot of time for updating to the latest PyInstaller 3.6 and find a new missing import ;-)

@Massimo: please update the Legacy and Normal binaries on http://www.web2py.com/init/default/download accordingly.

Cheers,

Nico

Hi Nico,

Just want to make sure I understand.

You say 'web2py 2.19.1 binaries come "with embedded Python 2.7.16 or 3.7.4" ' ??

My reading is that one MUST get web2py source in order to use other versions of Python? Am I understanding correctly?

We are on macOS Catalina, python 3.7.6 and, given that python 3.8.2 claims better integration with Catalina and python.org saying "We plan to continue to provide bugfix releases for 3.7.x until mid 2020...", going back to 3.7.4 doesn't appeal.

Thanks

Jim

So far yes.

Nico has been working on new binaries and a new system for packing them. The plan is to ship both 2.7 and 3.7.

Hi Jim,

you should use the latest available Python version and the web2py sources (and possibly a full web server) for Production and complex / unusual development.

But using the binaries is much simpler and quicker if you're just learning web2py or testing your existing code with different python versions. For a newbie, even properly installing Python could be a nightmare! Also, in this way you're sure you don't risk any damage on your system and you can do it even if you're not an administrator.

Hi every body:

I have an app under 2.18.5, every thing is fine, when compressing the app, the size of the zip is 6 mega.

the same app under 2.19.1, every thing is fine, when compressing the app, the size of the zip is 9 mega.

Explaining is highly appreciated.

In this version of web2py I have the following lines of code in db.py

from gluon.contrib.appconfig import AppConfig

configuration = AppConfig(reload=True)

When I add code to a module file and save the file I get the following error:

nameError(“name ‘reload’ is not defined”)

Why do I get this error?

Kind regards,

Annet
