Actually, if you've been running web2py with Python 2.7, then you have been running the source version of web2py. The version of web2py that comes with its own Python 2.5 interpreter is the binary version (for Windows or Mac), not the source version. > The python web site has an msi installer for 2.5 but only source code for > 2.5.6. http://www.python.org/getit/releases/2.5.6/NEWS.txt describing the > differences. the text file is a bit too long to paste here. > If you want to run from source, then you do not need Python 2.5 at all -- Python 2.7 is fine. If you want to run the binary version of web2py, you don't have to install Python (in fact, even if you do install your own Python, it will be ignored and web2py will use its own Python 2.5 interpreter).
