Ok, I think, I have found some answers: (1) My current version is 2.9.11 (source) and I have checked it some minutes ago: http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip does not contain a dal/-folder but a dal.py
(2) I have found the dal/-folder now in version 2.9.12 Beta. (3) I am sorry but the lines TRUE = 'True' and so on are not parts of the offical file - my mistake, I think I have got it from an experimental version. Maybe I have tried few months ago something like this proposal: https://github.com/web2py/web2py/pull/580/files Sorry again for this misleading discussion. 2015-01-07 17:52 GMT+01:00 Massimo Di Pierro <[email protected]>: > I am pretty sure this worked fine.
