Answer 1

For Ubuntu OS, install python web using below command:

sudo apt-get install python-webpy

Answer 2

Old question, but for people who reach this via web search, this is the command you're looking for, assuming an apt-based linux distribution like ubuntu or debian:

$ sudo aptitude install python-webpy

Answer 3

With pip: pip install web.py==0.40.dev0

Answer 4

The problem is that you most likely used pip install lpthw.web to install however the lpthw book is using python 2.7 so pip2.7 would fix this:

pip2.7 install lpthw.web

Answer 5

The following is the command that you need to run

$ easy_install web.py

And according to the document for lpthw (which just uses a fork of web.py), you can run :

$ pip install lpthw.web

Then to run the application you will just need to do:

$ python app.py

Answer 6

You have to download source from http://webpy.org/static/web.py-0.36.tar.gz.

The steps to install web is on http://webpy.org/install.

Please follow the steps if got any error then add comments to this post or update the question.
