Sorry that I was kept busy for a few days and did not feedback earlier. Massimo's fix works. Now web2py.py -f another_web2py_folder can serve applications in that another_web2py_folder/applications/*
Thadeus, in most cases we don't need two instances of web2py running same app code. But there is always an exception to any rule. In my first post in this thread, I use both web2py_src (latest trunk) and web2py_exe to run same app, because the former does not run cron due to my lack of python_win32. And I think this trick also simplify my life when testing same app on web2py_old and web2py_latest, in case web2py_latest introduced some bug.
