simple progs using web.py run on 1 system, but fail on another system

[arthur sherman]

i have a few simple python progs which run nicely on 1 system, but fail on another system w/ the error:

No template named formtest.

both systems are debian based, both running python 2.7.x.

specifically, the (works:doesn't work)- (Ubuntu 13.10: Debian 7  )  (python 2.7.5+:  python 2.7.3 )

permissions for the prog and the web tree are identical on both systems.

the program runs on each system by a user w/ the same privs.

i hope this is something simple i'm overlooking.

any ideas?

tnx,

ams

here's an example of a program that runs on 1 sys and fails on the other:

#!/usr/bin/env python

# scanip.py 

import web

from web import form

render = web.template.render('templates/')

urls = (

    '/', 'index'

)

app = web.application(urls, globals())

scanip = form.Form(

    form.Textbox('Enter ip scan spec (ex. 192.168.5.0/24): '),

)

scanspec = scanip()

#print scanspec.render()

class index: 

    def GET(self): 

        form = scanip()

        # make sure you create a copy of the form by calling it (line above)

        # Otherwise changes will appear globally

        return render.formtest(form)

    def POST(self): 

        form = scanip() 

        if not form.validates(): 

            return render.formtest(form)

#        else:

#            return "Grrreat success! boe: %s, bax: %s" % (form.d.boe, form['bax'].value)

#            return "success!"

if __name__=="__main__":

    web.internalerror = web.debugerror

    app.run()

Does the file formtest.html exist in the templates directory? If yes, try to define the templates directory with an absolute path (e.g. /var/www/html/templates).
