Hello

On installing web2py and an application named Sahana Eden and trying to run the app, I get an error indicating that portalocker cannot be imported in pydal.py.
I see a note that this is fixed on Sept 27.
What do I need to do it so that I get the update? I had installed web2py using the command
git clone --recursive git://github.com/web2py/web2py.git and seems that I did not get the commit from late Sept.

web2py™	Version 2.14.6-stable+timestamp.2016.05.09.19.18.48
Python	Python 2.7.12: /usr/bin/python (prefix: /usr)

Hi Avinash,

You might need to adjust the web2py version. The preferred one is 2.14.6

See here how to switch to other version: https://github.com/sahana/eden_deploy/blob/master/install-eden-cherokee-postgis.sh#L95

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Biplov
