Anybody ever see this?
PYTHONPATH and sys.path are module search paths, not executable search paths, and the system shell (not python) looks at PATH. When you say "python web2py.py", python looks for web2py.py in the current working directory only. You can give it a full path: python c:...web2py.py if you really need to run it from another directory. (I should qualify this by saying that this is the way it works on Unix, and I'm assuming that it works that way on Windows.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
