Hi Richard, Can you be a bit more specific, do you want to encrypt "data" in web2py sounds a little vague, do you want to encrypt the contents of the information stored in a database? - or is it flat files, or other kind of information?
What OS are you on? - Are you in Windows, Linux, OS X, Solaris, etc, etc, I've used encryption in the past (I do linux/OSX only) without a single problem at all... Is this a web2py issue? - or is it that you cannot install the packages of m2crypto for your setup, what versions of the OS/web2py/ python are you using?
