Hi Dave Firstly many thanks for your response.
When I reviewed the files in the new (or 're-born') compiled 'Welcome' app *both* the view (*views.default.index.html.pyc*) AND its associated controller (*controllers.default.index.pyc*) *correctly exist* in the *'compiled'* folder. (Obviously no files exist - or indeed should exist for a compiled app - in the 'views' folder.) >From this it seems that while web2py packs the compiled version with the relevant files, there seems to be a more fundamental issue at play here (bearing in mind that - for the purposes of explaining this problem - I have specifically (and deliberately) used both the version of web2py taken *directly from the download page* and used the 'Welcome' application - which comes as standard with web2py - which is known (and understood) to function correctly). I'm a bit baffled to be honest ...
