Btw, this seems to be one of the more elusive features of web2py, when it comes to finding information about it... @simonD, can I ask what did you first think when you saw _2.9.4 in the path, but no corresponding folder?
Did you assume anything else besides a missing folder? Did you search the group for answers and if so, what keywords did you use? I'm trying to figure out how should web2py & it's documentation convey the information about this feature better...
