Hi Lucy,
Did you manage to get this to work?
Please see this discussion with the same
problem:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/archesproject/Khj1ddBxAYk/G4TeZj1dBAAJ
As Adam summarizes: copy the arches_hip/models/resource.py file, paste it
into the corresponding directory of your own app, and then change the
RESOURCE_MODEL to something like:
RESOURCE_MODEL = {'default': '{}.models.resource.Resource'.
format(PACKAGE_NAME)}
As to your questions:
- .pyc files are created when Python runs your .py file for the first time.
It compiles it into bytes and saves it as .pyc. After that, the Python
compiler will only recreate the .pyc if anything in your .py has changed.
You are correct to think the absence of a .pyc version of your customized
script means it is not being used.
- Generally speaking, your files are owned by root if you installed/copied
it while running under the root user. I install/run Arches under root as
well, but I am not sure if there are better solutions (e.g. a less
privileged user). Perhaps the community here can fill us in :)
Good luck,
Vincent
