Which OS are you using? Here's what I get on Ubuntu 12.04: $ python web2py.py -S welcome web2py Web Framework Created by Massimo Di Pierro, Copyright 2007-2013 Version 2.6.0-development+timestamp.2013.08.15.17.14.24 Database drivers available: SQLite(sqlite3), MySQL(pymysql), PostgreSQL( pg8000), MSSQL(pyodbc), DB2(pyodbc), Teradata(pyodbc), Ingres(pyodbc), IMAP( imaplib) WARNING:web2py:import IPython error; use default python shell Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2013, 06:20:15) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
