Python web2py console

[Paul Ellis]

Hello, 

I know this question has been asked before, but didn't solve the problem for me.

I am using Windows 10 and web2py binary and have replaced web2py.py with web2py.exe in the command python web2py.py -s [applicaiton] -m and am getting this error:

python web2py.exe -s [application] -m

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\x90' in file web2py.exe on line 1, but no encoding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details

I have also tried: 

python web2py.exe

e:\web2py\py web2py.exe

this gives a traceback, but the same error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<string>", line 6, in <module>

  File "__main__.py", line 126, in <module>

  File "__main__py__.py", line 60, in <module>

  File "web2py.exe", line 1

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\x90' in file web2py.exe on line 1, but no encoding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers

Try just double click in web2py.exe , it open a server in a screen.

Or are you trying accessing models of application via shell?

[Paul Ellis]

Yes. I want an interactive shell with my application loaded.

I know I can run a 'Test' page with output to the console, but it would be much easier (and I know possible) if I could use an interactive shell.

I have seen Massimo using it in his videos. But I can' t get the command to work.

If using the Windows binary, the .exe file includes the Python interpreter, so you don't run it using your system's installed Python. Instead, it would be:

web2py.exe -S application -M

Also, note that S and M are capitalized.

Anyway, the point of the binary .exe file is for systems that do not have Python installed. If you have Python installed, it would be preferable to just use the source version of web2py -- don't bother with the .exe version.

[Paul Ellis]

Thank you. That works. 

I used the binary in the beginning, simply because I was so new and it seemed the simplest way forwards. 

Maybe it's time to switch to the source version.

Hey Marlysson,

This command doesn't work. But thanks for your time to try to help.

Anthony has told me the correct command is:

    web2py.exe -S your_application -M
