Thanks guys. Yarko, you are nothing if not prolific - all I ever wanted to know and more. :-)
I just felt like there must be some mechanism to tell python where to find files from the command prompt short of typing the entire path and that I was missing something. I didn't really think pythonpath or sys.path were the right answer, but hey it was worth a shot. But this does work (I tried it)... python %web2pypath%\web2py.py --upgrade yes The only catch is that web2pypath has to be in the "short name" format (limit of 8 characters per path segment, no spaces, etc.). So in my case, this... C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\w2p\web2py source\web2py looks like this...
