Thanks a lot for the super quick answer! After reading your post I did try to create an empty model named scheduler.py and indeed the widget now allows me to start a worker for my app, so this does solve my issue! One thing that confuses me is that when I start the source version in windows with the -K option I get still the widget popping up and no worker is automatically started. If I try to pass the -K option to the windows executable instead, after I created the model scheduler.py, I indeed get the worker to start and to behave correctly.
Using the -K version on the executable I am also able to start multiple workers now, so I'm really in business. I'd still like to know why the source version does not behave as expected though:in my case passing the -K option it just goes straight to the widget as if I didn't pass any option: C:\web2py_src\web2py>web2py.py -K VerificationDemo -D0 No handlers could be found for logger "web2py" web2py Web Framework Created by Massimo Di Pierro, Copyright 2007-2013 Version 2.8.2-stable+timestamp.2013.11.28.13.54.07 Database drivers available: SQLite(sqlite3), MySQL(pymysql), PostgreSQL(pg8000), MSSQL(py Maybe I'm missing something else?
