web2py 1.66.1 (win) zipimport.ZipImportError

[rppowell]

Hey guys;

I downloaded web2py from http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_win.zip
and unzipped it to a temporary directory.

I tried running web2py and got this error on the console:

F:\PortableDev\web2py>web2py.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "web2py.py", line 3, in <module>
zipimport.ZipImportError: can't find module 'gluon'

F:\PortableDev\web2py>

Is the web2py_win.zip archive missing something/corrupted?

Indeed - I get the same, although there is library/gluon - it's not found...

OS X version, too. The source copy works OK, though.

:(, I don't want to be an asshole but these things don't make a good
reputation for web2py :(.

Hopefully someone else or Massimo can fix this :).

Fairly sure, yes. Download problems have been showing up as truncated
files and a failed unzip. These look good (though it'd be nice to have
a hash of the download files to know for sure; something to think
about for the future).

And we're seeing exactly the same message, consistently, for both OS X
and Windows.

Here's the error from my console log.

Pretty sure - have a previous *.exe; sizes are comparable; tried to compare contained files, to see if localtion was an issue (as I recall, all the files lined up)...
 

[mdipierro]

I reverted the binary versions to 1.65.11 for now.

I identified the problem. I installed Enthought Python and that must
have changed something in my python distribution. In particular it
creates gluon/*.pyc file with a different magic number than expected
by the binary python distribution that comes with web2py_osx/win. That
fails the import.

I am not sure how to fix this and I doubt I will be able to fix this
until Monday or Tuesday.
Anyway I will look into this asap. Sorry about this problem.

Note to self... never release new version before going hiking.

I found the problem!

It was not Enthought. It was stackless. It replaced itself as default
python installation.

I am rebuilding the binaries as we speak. If I manage to upload 1.66.2
tonight from the Internet Cafe where I am at, please give it a try. I
may also have fixed (temporarily) the file unlocking problem that some
users have reported on Vista/win32.

I shut down the server temporarily to speed up download. Sorry. I will
be up again shortly.

Or you can release it in a name "1.x.x hiking version", hiking here
means beta. :-P

PS: This post is of course a "joking version". :-)

It's ok, your still awesome. :þ
Besides, hiking is something I think a lot of use should be doing on a
weekend like this. (But I am programming.)
