Thanks for the reply, Dave. There have been a number of issues surrounding the last couple of versions of Mac OS which come down to the fact that Apple has tightened security of the core of the system, As a result of that, some third party code doesn't always run because its trying to do things that it probably should never have been able to do, and that are no longer permitted - I was tearing my hair out the last couple of days trying to update my version of pyinstaller with pip failing no matter what I did because the system would not allow it to delete old files that it expected to be able to :(
The problem here may ultimately be tied up with this general issue. I will keep poking at it. It seems I'm the only one who has the problem :( Jim On Thursday, February 15, 2018 at 2:05:26 AM UTC-8, Dave S wrote: > > On Wednesday, February 14, 2018 at 6:23:44 PM UTC-8, jim kaubisch wrote: >> >> Has no-one else had this problem? >> > > I run web2py on Windows or on linux, and having multiple versions has not > been a problem.
