I was looking in the book for an option to change the default path of
a web2py application folder, so when using appadmin to modify it or
requesting actions from a browser makes web2py use another folder than
the original /.../applications/app path.

I found the "Execution environment" section but i think it's not
appropiate for the case (it is inteded to run actions from other apps,
for example, but I don't think it can be used for changing the app
default folder)

Is there any feature that can help changing the default app's path?.

In other thread Massimo suggested to use symbolic links, but my
application is intended for an audience with Windows machines, and
creating symbolic links from Python i believe is not supported for
that systems. Also there is the possibility to call system commands
within the python script to create that symbolic link, but i am trying
to avoid using that method so the app is more portable (i.e. it can be
easily installed in different machines).

I would appreciate any advice or suggestions on this matter.
