OK, the emergency is over! Thanks all for your suggestions. The solution was for me to go further back in time and copy an older backup of admin into place, so admin is working again. Next exercise is to try to climb up to 2.7.X, but as I said, I'm held back by this old module I didn't write.
Bottom line, Niphlod may be right. We may have silently, and possibly unwittingly, deep-sixed python 2.5 by upgrading admin to the "with as" syntax. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
