Hi,

Thank you. 

I was under the impression that web2py was only compatible with Python2.7, 
and that py4web was for Python3x.
I now understand that py2web has been modified and is also compatible with 
Python3, up to 3.11.

That definitely opens new horizons for me. I might try to install Python3 
alongside, and use it's venv.
I think that might be less confusing than trying to install a newer 
Python2.7 version, on this system, do you agree ?

Is migrating an web2py from Python2.7 to Python 3x a straightforward task ? 
Or might it need some code refactoring ?

Alexandre
