Before that future comes, how about this dirty hack? I do not fully
test it due to not know how to build another windows distribution by
my own. So I just guess it might work.
Create this function in applications/myapp/controller/default.py:
def test():
import sys
return {'':sys.argv[0]}
And visit it.
If you are running web2py from the source code, you get the output as
"web2py.py".
If you are running web2py from the windows distrib, you get the output
as "web2py".
So we can try this after the definition of crontype in cron.py:
crontype='Soft'
if sys.argv[0]=='web2py': # Likely running in a windows distribution
crontype='Hard' # Force it to hardcron. Somehow necessary. :-/
