If you want to make your web2py application completely portable on Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD you can use StaticPython:
http://code.google.com/p/pts-mini-gpl/wiki/StaticPython >From the homepage: "StaticPython is a statically linked version of the Python 2.x (currently 2.7.1) and 3.x (currently 3.2) and Stackless Python interpreters and their standard modules for 32-bit (i686, i386, x86) Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD systems. It is distributed as single, statically linked 32-bit executable binaries, which contains the Python scripting engine, the interactive interpreter with command editing (readline), the Python debugger (pdb), most standard Python modules (including pure Python modules and C extensions), coroutine support using greenlet and multithreading support. The binary contains both the pure Python modules and the C extensions, so no additional .py or .so files are needed to run it. It also works in a chroot environment. The binary uses uClibc, so it supports username lookups and DNS lookups as well (without NSS). " I tested it and it works like a charm! -- Profile: http://www.gild.com/compagnucciangelo Register on Gild: http://www.gild.com/referral/compagnucciangelo
