AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'mkdir'

[v]

Hi Massimo,

I was trying the web2py Auth module on GAE and while everything else
seems to work fine, the change_password function throws up this error;
works fine on localhost. Looks like there's an attempt to create
directory in sql.py; ofcourse, mkdir isn't supported on GAE, hence the
error. I suppose this needs to be modified for GAE (?).

Which web2py version?

I think the problem is that your app is missing a "databases" folder.
Since you never run it locally without GAE it was never created. Can
you verify?

I think the version i just uploaded to trunk should skip the os.mkdir
