"web2py.app“ wants access to control “System Events.app“

[John McMaster]

Just installed web2py 2.17.2 on Mojave 10.14.1:

I get this message:

"web2py.app“ wants access to control “System Events.app“. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “System Events.app“, and to perform actions within that app.

Are there any issues by allowing this?

Security etc?

Can anyone enlighten me on what this is doing?

Thank you,

did you run web2py_osx.zip (For Mac) ?

had you try web2py_src.zip (Source Code) ?

best regards,

Hello stifen,
I am running for MAC version 2.17.2.

I have downloaded both for MAC and the Source Code. But I have not run from source yet.

I would like to know more about the reason behind the message and what it is doing with the System Events.app? 

Thank You

curl -L -O -C - https://mdipierro.pythonanywhere.com/examples/static/web2py_osx.zip

unzip web2py_osx.zip

open web2py/web2py.app

tested it with the step above but not found the error like you posted before, for system events.app perhaps you can get explanation here

I just installed and ran the version you included and I get the same. I do see from the two links that you included that my setup has system events.app

in the location mentioned. So the question that I have is what in web2py on seeing system events.app is it going to use it for? 

At this point I don't think it harms anything but it is something else I need to keep in mind when playing with web2py. Not a bad thing!

So thank you Stifan for taking the time and getting the resources to explain this.
