I have done as you suggested, but web2py server will no longer start (tried with rocket server). Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "web2py.py", line 21, in <module> import gluon.widget File "/home/veda/acre/gluon/widget.py", line 26, in <module> from gluon import main, newcron File "/home/veda/acre/gluon/main.py", line 120, in <module> load_routes() File "/home/veda/acre/gluon/rewrite.py", line 380, in load load(routes, appname) File "/home/veda/acre/gluon/rewrite.py", line 320, in load exec(data, symbols) File "<string>", line 21, in <module> ImportError: cannot import name abspath Inspecting the code at that point, it seems the issue is that there is a syntax error in my routes.py file, and indeed removing this file allows web2py to run. However I have been using this file successfully before, and trying to remake it using the parametric example results in the error again. In fact, even the default routes.py file without changes also results in the error. Did the syntax or API for routes change?
