I haven't been clear enough. You can check/install stuff yourself based on detected versions (you could try/catch for PIL and install it from your app but that would feel wrong, wouldn't it ?). There is no way to 'suggest' or help installations by dependancies (either external like PIL, or internal like the web2py version or T2/T3).
For example, when generating/compiling the application bundle, the web2py version could be included in the application, so when you deploy, you get a notification if the application was originally created on a newer web2py version. Not sure how feasible it is, but a simple scan of import statements in controllers and modules could also build a checklist which in turn could be validated in the admin. Oh, and this would be yet another candidate for the 'nobody else does it' category :) On Mar 8, 4:39 pm, mdipierro <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, request.env.web2py_version contains the current version > > On Mar 8, 1:42 am, Jonathan B <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Mar 6, 9:45 pm, AchipA <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Another issue, somewhat linked to this is the version of web2py > > > itself.
