It does not hang. It starts the server. The server blocks. If you want to start the server is a new thread:
import os, sys, thread, time filepath = r'P:/Web2Py/web2py_src/web2py' sys.path.append ( filepath ) os.chdir ( filepath ) ## <== absolutely necessary to get the version number !!! from gluon.main import HttpServer server = HttpServer ( password='xxx' ) #ip,port,admin_password) thread.start_new_thread(server.start,(,)) print 'piep' time.sleep(10000) will print piep but will only live for 10000. It is up to you to handle concurrency.
