I am running web2py on a Windows machine.
I’m working on an application, but it keeps erroring because it says the module I’m trying to use isn’t installed. It is however installed in my local python install.
How can I install modules so that web2py can recognize them?
web2py recognize any module you have in your local Python installation, unless you have a module with the same name under /modules folder of your application.
If you are on windows I do not recommend the use of .exe version of web2py (this version is only for studies) and it has a self contained isolated Python interpreter.
Make sure you are using source version of web2py and Python 2.5+ on your windows.
web2py should import any module from your Python path, also you can drop modules in app/modules folder ], then web2py will check there first when import something.
