Ok, so installing psycopg2 did make web2py use it instead of pg8000. And I stopped getting the error I was seeing before.
However, when trying to start the scheduler, I get another error, which from what I see comes from the line right after the one generating the previous error: web2py.scheduler.localhost#20734 - ERROR - Error retrieving status scheduler_worker localhost#20734 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/www-data/web2py/gluon/scheduler.py", line 963, in send_heartbeat worker_stats=self.w_stats) File "/home/www-data/web2py/gluon/dal.py", line 9293, in insert ret = self._db._adapter.insert(self, self._listify(fields)) File "/home/www-data/web2py/gluon/dal.py", line 1361, in insert raise e DataError: invalid input syntax for type json LINE 1: ...heartbeat) VALUES ('ACTIVE','2014-10-17 23:54:59','<Storage ... ^ DETAIL: Token "<" is invalid. CONTEXT: JSON data, line 1: <... Up to here, I am just trying to start the scheduler. I don't even have any tasks added to the queue yet. There seems to be a problem with the worker_stats Storage object, it seems it is not being converted to JSON but just passed with quotes around it. But again, this seems to be inside web2py, not anyting that I am doing in my code. Do you have any clues on what the issue may be this time, and what I could do about it? Again, my goal so far is just to be able to start the task scheduler on a PostgreSQL database....
