Suppose you:
$ mkdir foo
$ cd foo
$ wget http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/examples/static/web2py_src.zip
$ unzip web2py_src.zip
That leaves you with web2py in the web2py subdir.
If you then:
$ python web2py/web2py.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "web2py/web2py.py", line 7, in <module>
from gluon.widget import start
File "/home/witr/Projects/ijslog/web2py/gluon/widget.py", line 28,
in <module>
from gluon.main import HttpServer, save_password
File "/home/witr/Projects/ijslog/web2py/gluon/main.py", line 77, in
<module>
web2py_version = open(os.path.join(web2py_path, 'VERSION'),
'r').read()
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/witr/Projects/
ijslog/VERSION'
That seems like an overreaction. This specific problem can be easily
solved in main.py with this:
web2py_path = os.path.realpath(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]))
But then the problem shows up elsewhere.
So, is it a fundamental design principle that web2py must be run in
CWD or can/should this be fixed?
It seems that if web2py were packaged as part of a larger system it
would be nicer to not have this issue...
