Thanks michele, I was just reading up on all that (windows logging is another thing I have no clue about :-) . I already have pywin32 extensions, which was necessary for some other part of web2py to run. I think my errors are being sent to the event viewer as information from web2py does show up there, I suppose I could try raising errors instead of printing... I'll give that a try...
