Hi group
In gluon/compileapp.py, around line 240, this line:
__builtins__['__import__'] = __builtin__.__import__
is causing problems with pypy, seemingly all of a sudden. I haven't
backtracked to see which version it was still working in, but the weird
thing is that when web2py is started with "python web2py.py" (2.7) then
"print type(__builtins__)" says "dict" (but only in certain units??), but
starting with "pypy web2py.py" then "print type(__builtins__)" says
"module". "module" is obviously correct, and I don't know how it becomes a
dict in the context of compileapp.py.
Has anyone a quick hint to solve this puzzle for me, before I try to figure
this out in more detail? Is anything special about what happens to
__builtins__? For one thing, if __builtins__ really is of type "module",
then it can't have dict-like key access, and that is the bit that fails when
launching the code with pypy, but I can't seem to find anywhere in the code
where anything special is done to a reference of __builtins__.
