Why would a Web2Py website work locally but give me errors when I upload it to PythonAnywhere? How would I fix an error I don't get locally?

I created an app successfully from a Tutorial on Web2Py but when I uploaded the application to PythonAnywhere, I received this error:

It sounds like you're running web2py on Python 3 locally and with Python 2 on PythonAnywhere. The best solution would be to upgrade it on PythonAnywhere:

  • Make sure that you're using the most recent version of web2py itself by upgrading it from the main admin page inside your hosted web2py.
  • Once it's fully upgraded, go to the "Web" page inside PythonAnywhere and change the Python version to the version of Python 3 that matches the one that you're using locally (eg. 3.7 or 3.8)
  • Reload the site using the green button at the top of the "Web" page inside PythonAnywhere.

Then you should be able to upload your app.
