Hi, This is an FYI, perhaps it happens by design, but I thought I should at least highlight the problem. Previously I had web2py version 1.95.1 installed (via easy_install), and I decided to upgrade to the latest web2py.
When I ran the easy_install script, I hit the problem highlighted below (which I worked around with a manual "python setup.py install"); however, is this something that can be circumvented in future releases?? Thoughts? \m --- root@hotcoffee:~# easy_install -U web2py Searching for web2py Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/web2py/ Reading http://web2py.com Best match: web2py 1.98.2 Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/w/web2py/web2py-1.98.2.tar.gz#md5=0ddea1bf661177bb89b455fca8b0a1ea Processing web2py-1.98.2.tar.gz Running web2py-1.98.2/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-sIzo8q/web2py-1.98.2/egg-dist-tmp-eNdU43 error: SandboxViolation: open('/dev/urandom', 'wb') {} The package setup script has attempted to modify files on your system that are not within the EasyInstall build area, and has been aborted.
