HI
About a month ago, I installed web2py on raspberry pi
and ran the rocket server 
web2py -a 'your_password' -i 0.0.0.0 -p 8000 -c ca.crt -k ca.key
and everything worked fine. 
So I got another raspberry pi and installed web2py , and now I get the following error. Does anyone know why?

Wait, no, I just downloaded the web2py software from the original raspberry pi that I installed and functioned ok. I get the same error. Let me go away and figure this out...

Thanks. For the record I know what I did wrong. The error is caused by my installing 
sudo pip install pydal
first, and then installing web2py. Apparently the pip version is behind the current version of pydal, and as web2py was using the pip version, there were errors.

In the first case, where everything worked fine, I installed web2py FIRST and THEN pip install pydal. In this case, web2py was using its own version of pydal and not the pip version.

Interesting!
