The error is showing up only in the Mac web2py binary package Its happening when you click on the web2py.app in finder, it basically throws an error window with the following message
NameError: name 'copyright' is not defined, and gives you the option to open the console log or terminate . I have pasted the relevant entries from my mac's console log if it helps. 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM [0x0-0xbf0bf].org.pythonmac.unspecified.web2py[4172] Traceback (most recent call last): 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM [0x0-0xbf0bf].org.pythonmac.unspecified.web2py[4172] File "/Users/heathjordaan/Desktop/web2py-1.9/web2py.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py", line 137, in <module> 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM [0x0-0xbf0bf].org.pythonmac.unspecified.web2py[4172] _run('web2py.py') 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM [0x0-0xbf0bf].org.pythonmac.unspecified.web2py[4172] File "/Users/heathjordaan/Desktop/web2py-1.9/web2py.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py", line 134, in _run 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM [0x0-0xbf0bf].org.pythonmac.unspecified.web2py[4172] execfile(path, globals(), globals()) 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM [0x0-0xbf0bf].org.pythonmac.unspecified.web2py[4172] File "/Users/heathjordaan/Desktop/web2py-1.9/web2py.app/Contents/Resources/web2py.py", line 16, in <module> 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM [0x0-0xbf0bf].org.pythonmac.unspecified.web2py[4172] import gluon.widget 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM [0x0-0xbf0bf].org.pythonmac.unspecified.web2py[4172] File "gluon/widget.py", line 24, in <module> 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM [0x0-0xbf0bf].org.pythonmac.unspecified.web2py[4172] File "gluon/main.py", line 83, in <module> 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM [0x0-0xbf0bf].org.pythonmac.unspecified.web2py[4172] File "gluon/custom_import.py", line 280, in __call__ 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM [0x0-0xbf0bf].org.pythonmac.unspecified.web2py[4172] File "gluon/custom_import.py", line 74, in __call__ 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM [0x0-0xbf0bf].org.pythonmac.unspecified.web2py[4172] File "gluon/compileapp.py", line 50, in <module> 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM [0x0-0xbf0bf].org.pythonmac.unspecified.web2py[4172] NameError: name 'copyright' is not defined 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM web2py[4172] web2py Error 2011/08/02 4:46:00 PM web2py[4172] web2py Error An unexpected error has occurred during execution of the main script NameError: name 'copyright' is not defined On a side note I have tested the source code version of 1.98.1 and that seems to start up and work fine from the command line.
