can't start git-based web2py on windows, pydal errors

[Tim Richardson]

On Windows Server 2008R2 I have web2py git cloned. 

at the moment 

python web2py.py

does not start. 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "web2py.py", line 18, in <module>
    import gluon.widget
  File "c:\Users\tim\web2py_dev\gluon\widget.py", line 26, in <module>
    import gluon.main as main
  File "c:\Users\tim\web2py_dev\gluon\main.py", line 129, in <module>
    load_routes()

    exec (data + '\n') in symbols

    path = os.path.join(*relpath)
  File "e:\Python27_32\lib\ntpath.py", line 66, in join
    p_drive, p_path = splitdrive(p)
  File "e:\Python27_32\lib\ntpath.py", line 114, in splitdrive
    if len(p) > 1:
TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()

This happens with trunk and if I checkout the latest tagged release, but I suppose it has more to do with pydal

git submodule status tells me .... /dal (v15.07)

Sorry, false alarm. Bad changes to routes.py
