I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but it only happens
with web2py (for now).
Due to a need to use pip, I used homebrew to install python.
Sidenote: Homebrew used to require additional configuration to work as "the
python" on the system, but now it does everything automatically. So when I
type
$ which python
...I get the one that homebrew installed.
Onward...
I tried
$ python web2py.py
...which is the homebrew installed one, and ran into this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/web2py/web2py.py", line 21, in <module>
import gluon.widget
File "/Users/web2py/gluon/__init__.py", line 31, in <module>
"You can also download a complete copy from http://www.web2py.com.";
RuntimeError: web2py depends on pydal, which apparently you have not
installed.
Probably you cloned the repository using git without '--recursive'
To fix this, please run (from inside your web2py folder):
git submodule update --init --recursive
You can also download a complete copy from http://www.web2py.com.
But when I run this command, which uses the system's python, it works!
$ /usr/bin/python web2py.py
I could always add "/usr/bin/" as a habit when starting web2py, but why
doesn't homebrew's installed python work? Are they not the same?
When I run python in command line, HOMEBREW:
$ python
Python 2.7.13 (default, Dec 17 2016, 23:03:43)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> exit()
...and, SYSTEM:
$ /usr/bin/python
Python 2.7.10 (default, Oct 23 2015, 19:19:21)

Thank you for reading!
