Users of pip and virtual environments (virtualenv) can now make user of the latest version of Web2py when installing from Pypi and have the options of a "standard" Web2py setup available via a new command called web2py_clone.
This is only available to users making use of: *pip install web2py* * about web2py_clone* web2py_clone was designed for folks who might be new to one or more of the following; Web2py, pip, virtual environments, mercurial, python... web2py_clone uses (and requires) mercurial (pip install mercurial) to create a clone from the Web2py project on Google Code in a directory called "web2py" that gets place in the virtualenv in a relatively "fixed" location that most people will be able to find and understand quickly and easily: So activating a virtual environment with: source ./bin/activate and then running: web2py_clone creates a "standard" local clone of Web2py in: ./web2py Everything should look and act like plain old Web2py cause that is what it is, plain old Web2py. So running ./bin/python ./web2py/web2py.py will start it up. *Advance pip / Virtualenv Stuff* If you have been around the block a few times or are looking for the "old" "advanced" features as outlined in that cool video you saw a while back you are going to want to look into the original commands, mkweb2pyenv and runweb2py. It would be a good idea to examine each command and each commands doc string, but we are assuming you will have no problem with this since you are going for the option clearly marked as "advanced" right ; ) I would like to rename or combine these commands are some point in time for various reasons, some outline in the commands docstrings. Comments welcomed. Enjoy, Chris
