pbkdf2_hmac error on PythonAnywhere

[Philip Kilner]

Hi,

I've just upgraded web2py to 2.18.4 and auth is throwing: -

<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'> 'module' object has no attribute
'pbkdf2_hmac'

...which I understand is because PythonAnywhere are using Python 2.7.6,
but "pbkdf2_hmac" was introduced in 2.7.8.

Is this a known issue?

I'm not expecting to be able to ask PythonAnywheere to upgrade, so is
there a robust workaround for this? (specifically on PythonAnywhere,
where I have limited control over the Python environment)

Hi,

I've also upgraded on PythonAnywhere from the web2py admin interface to 2.18.4, but without any problems. Does the error happen also with the standard welcome app?

Since I asked the question, the ever-helpful Giles has popped up in the forum at PythonAnywhere, and he tells me that they work off images, and that mine was an old one - he's organising an update to the latest version, which takes Python to 2.7.12,

I suspect that if you are able to check your Python version, you will be at 2.78 or later - I think I am the exception, by virtue of being on an older image.

Hi, 

I had the same error upgrading web2py to version 2.20.4

The python version in pythonanywhere was 2.7.6

Changing the python version to 3.5.2 solved it.
