AttributeError: 'thread._local' object has no attribute 'request'

[JungHyun Kim]

Hi. 

I got a error "AttributeError: 'thread._local' object has no attribute 'request'" when trying to run web2py with wsgi.

The application was "welcome" which is sample application of web2py.

in db.py

from gluon.tools import Auth, Crud, Service, PluginManager, prettydate
auth = Auth(db, hmac_key=Auth.get_or_create_key())

and in gluon/tools.py

@staticmethod
    def get_or_create_key(filename=None):
        request = current.request

Variables

global current	<thread._local object>
request	undefined
current.request	undefined

I have two questions about this.

1. Does global current variable mean thread._local ?

2. If then, why thread._local doesn't have request attribute? Did I set wsgi configuration wrong?

Thank you very much.

what python version and os version do you have?

[JungHyun Kim]

The server is Redhat Openshift (cloud PAAS). It uses Python 2.6 on RHEL 6.

Any chance you can try 2.5 or 2.7?

[JungHyun Kim]

Unfortunately, I can't. No way to change python version of the server.

But I tried with python 2.6 on my OS X. It works well.

Somehow RH ships with a broken Python. Somehow I am not surprised.

[JungHyun Kim]

LOL.

But someone in this user group already succeeded with openshift. 

So it might be my fault. I should find the answer more.

Thank you very much Massimo.
