Thanks for the heads up. I did run web2py.py directly and while it works, I got the following warning:
WARNING:root:no file locking It seems to work otherwise, but I'd still like some clarification on the warning if anybody knows. Parallel to this, I found a py2exe to make a 64 bit binary at (downloaded the one for python 2.6 as its the version of python that I use): http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/files/ When I tried running "python setup_exe.py py2exe", I got the following error during installation: *** copy data files *** warning: install_data: setup script did not provide a directory for 'admin.w2p' -- installing right in 'D:\web2py\dist' error: can't copy 'admin.w2p': doesn't exist or not a regular file >>python web2py.py Because you can do so, I believe you can package it in a binary form using tools like py2exe.
