Yes, you'll need the source code. You can get it here...: http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip
...then extract it to the folder of your choice (c:\web2py for me) Now open a command prompt, cd into that folder and type: python web2py.py -S yourapp -M The -S switch is for shell mode and the -M switch is to auto-import your models from the specified app. If it gives you grief about not being able to find python then just add it to the path: path %PATH%;C:\Python25 If iPython is installed, then it will start up instead of the regular python shell. From there you can try database queries to get a feel for things: dir(db) q = db(db.person.id==1).select() dir(q) q.colnames etc...
