Do you have redis in your site-packages?

Yes, I do. Had installed the redis-client: `pip install redis`
Also, please note that this works with the web2py_src version, but not the web2py-windows binary.

You may need to have it in the web2py/site-packages directory; the windows binary has it's own python dll.

The Windows and OSX binaries include their own Python interpreters, so they do not use your system's installation of Python (or any of its modules). As long as you already have Python on your system, just run the source version of web2py -- there is no benefit to using the Windows binary (it is intended to make it easier to run web2py because it doesn't require Python to be installed).

Anthony, thanks for the details. Yes, my preferred runtime is the source version of web2py.

Dave, thanks for this tip. I wasn't aware of this. In any case, going back to my preferred runtime - source version of web2py.
