it was this definition: auth.messages.verify_email = request.env.http_host+str(URL(r=request,c='default',f='user', args=['verify_email']))+'/%(key)s to verify your email'
which I had changed from: auth.messages.verify_email = request.env.http_host+URL(r=request,c='default',f='user', args=['verify_email'])+'/%(key)s to verify your email' when URL's return type was redefined by Web2py. Running locally on web2py's server and the system blustered on through this as did dev_appserver most of the time. But when dev_appserver called by task, it stopped at this line and returned 500. # set the QAs free I say!
