Scot et.al.;
I believe I am having the same strange problem. I am using web2py
version 2.21.1 with python 2.7.5
I found that particular line of code tyou mentioned in
web2py/gluon/tools.py about line: 3468
"if not self.settings.email_case_sensitive:
table_user.email.requires.insert(0, IS_LOWER())"
Is the best solution to simply enter the email address for login in
lower case? Is it possible to edit that line of code in tools.py? I
realize your post is 4 years old. Maybe this bug has been fixed.
best, Tele Tom
