Re: [web2py] validator.py and T()
Thank you very much - now is works!
2010/12/27 Bruno Rocha rochacbr...@gmail.com
That is because T() is not in context when validators are defined. you have
to pass error_message to your validators.
db.table.field.requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(error_message=T('this field cannot be
empty'))
That is the way I am doing woth my Portuguese systems and sites.
2010/12/27 Martin Weissenboeck mweis...@gmail.com
Hi,
I want to build a website using German. A lot of texts can be translated
using the T() object. But there are some problems:
(1) I have modified default/user.html:
- a href={{=URL(r=request,args='register')}}{{=T('register')}}/a
- a
href={{=URL(r=request,args='request_reset_password')}}{{=T('lost
password')}}/a
Works fine. Would be nice to have these lines as standard text.
(2) There is a lot of English strings in gluon/validators.py, starting
with
- error_message (e.g. def __init__(self, expression,
error_message='invalid expression'):),
- failures.append and
- format
I was very surprised that I could not find any T() object in the code. Now
I tried to use the T() object for all of these lines, but T() is not known.
That
is realy not good - a lot of users would not accept a website with mixed
German and English words. What can I do?
Which kind regards
Martin

[web2py] question about trapped ajax link
I'm trying to get a trapped ajax link, which deletes a record, to update two different divs on the screen. One div is rendered by its controller. But how about the other div, assuming that it is usually rendered by an entirely different controller? I tried using response.js and response.headers['web2py-component-command'] to render the other div, but it didn't work. I'm missing something.

First, Merry Christmas.
Since I still experiencing problem on left join I have looked more
deeply and try to find where is the difference between old and new
DAL.
I found that my problem only appears on a more complex request:
Domain = dbPsnol.domain
Client = dbPsnol.client
Contact = dbPsnol.contact
Manager = dbPsnol.contact.with_alias('manager')
Datacenter = dbPsnol.datacenter
PsnVersion = dbPsnol.psn_version
Server = dbPsnol.server
query = dbPsnol((Domain.id==request.args[0])
(Client.id==Domain.client_id)
(Datacenter.id==Domain.dc_id)
(PsnVersion.id==Domain.psn_version_id))
sql = query._select(Domain.name, Client.name,
Manager.name, left=[
Manager.on(Manager.id==Client.manager_id)])
print sql
With the old DAL:
SELECT domain.name, client.name, manager.name FROM datacenter, domain,
psn_version, client LEFT JOIN contact AS manager ON
manager.id=client.manager_id WHERE (((domain.id=211 AND
psn_version.id=domain.psn_version_id) AND datacenter.id=domain.dc_id)
AND client.id=domain.client_id);
With the new DAL:
SELECT domain.name, client.name, manager.name FROM datacenter,
domain, client, psn_version LEFT JOIN contact AS manager ON
(manager.id = client.manager_id) WHERE domain.id = 211) AND
(psn_version.id = domain.psn_version_id)) AND (datacenter.id =
domain.dc_id)) AND (client.id = domain.client_id));
The difference is almost invisible, but tables client and psn_version
have swap in the FROM part of the request. It seems that my problem
come from there since the new DAL syntax isn't correct for PostgreSQL.
For my second problem (INNER JOIN and alias) I will open a new ticket
quickly. Many thanks for your work.

Ok in order to simplify the problem I have changed my code to this:
Domain = db.domain

sql = db((Domain.id==1)(Client.id==Domain.client_id))._select(
Domain.name, Client.name, Manager.name,

The result is:
SELECT domain.name, client.name, contact.name FROM domain, client,
contact LEFT JOIN contact AS manager ON (contact.id =
client.manager_id) WHERE ((domain.id = 1) AND (client.id =

And this request is not correct for PostgreSQL. I think that it should
be :
SELECT domain.name, client.name, manager.name FROM domain, client
LEFT JOIN contact as manager ON (manager.id = client.manager_id) WHERE
((domain.id = 1) AND (client.id = domain.client_id));
Which works well.
In order to push research further I also tried to do only INNER JOIN
with an aliased table and it partially works:
Domain = db.domain
Client = db.client
Manager = db.contact.with_alias('manager')
sql = db((Domain.id==1)
(Client.id==Domain.client_id)
(Manager.id==Client.manager_id))._select(

print sql
Result:
SELECT domain.name, client.name, contact.name FROM domain, client,
contact WHERE (((domain.id = 1) AND (client.id = domain.client_id))
AND (contact.id = client.manager_id));
It works but it doesn't use the alias name for the table contact. Thus

Thank you for investigating this problem so quickly.

OK, I think I got it. web2py_ajax_page() is for updating whole components. ajax() is for doing more surgical stuff within the component.

I have lots of tables that have unique constrain on 2-3 fields, so I prefer not to do this manually. any help will be appreciated!

I've been working with web2py for a while. Lastnight I updated to last

More precisely, the problem appeared in the forms where I mix some

just like this example:
--
form = SQLFORM.factory(
db.mytable.oneexistingfield,
Field('nonexistingfield', 'string'),
db.mytable.anotherexistingfield)

Anyway. After some minutes searching for the cause of the problem,
I've decided to start from scratch with an example. I downloaded the
version 1.91.4 (I'm using Ubuntu 10.04). I created a new application.
The model (very simple, I took it from web2py examples):
--
db.define_table('person',
Field('name'))
db.define_table('dog',
Field('name'),
Field('owner', db.person))
--
Then, I wrote the index function on default.py controller:
--
def index():
form = SQLFORM.factory(db.dog)
dogs = db(db.dog.id0).select()
return dict(form=form, dogs=dogs)
--
In the view I just added {{=form}} and {{=BEAUTIFY(dogs)}}, just to
see the result of the function.
When I try to run the function, I receive the following error:

The SAME code, but using SQLFORM(db.dog) instead of
SQLFORM.factory(db.dog), works just fine.
The SAME code, but with an older version of web2py, works just fine.
What happened to SQLFORM.factory? Some bug? Or it's just me that I'm
doing something wrong?

But for less complex things, this plugin will suffice. dependency is so small. (other one need jQuery-ui too I prefer to make my client to download as less content as needed.) I fixed some errors. My version now support some things that's not there in original version 0) It uses same syntax as original plug-in (so home back again) 1) support to include more than one rating widget per page. 2) if the parent table for which we are using rating has a field called 'rate' of type dobule, then average rating will be added to that field too. It'll be handy, if we have to run complex queries on that table involving rating. So, this make less db calls. Also, this degrades gracefully, if there's no 'rating' field in the table without making any noise. 3) Now, added support to display same rating for same record twice in a page. 4) Split stars is supported now.

[web2py] Re: Web2Py Foundation?
A foundation is a corporation and, believe it or not, in US a corporation is a person: http://www.professorbainbridge.com/professorbainbridgecom/2010/01/the-corporation-is-a-legal-person-get-over-it.html The Django foundation was created two years ago (and Django is 4-5 years older than web2py). Do you have any evidence that it has improved its popularity: http://www.google.com/trends?q=django? Python has a foundation and it looks to me it is always broke. I just spoke with a recruiter that was looking for Python programmers for a big US bank and I complained that his client relied on a product (Python) and did not make any donation to support it. The python developers are not supported by the foundation, as far as I know. A foundation has costs higher than a corporation and I do not get enough donation to cover those costs. A corporation (experts4solutions) is cheaper (it still costs at least $500/year of my own money). Moreover a foundation implies that design decision are taken by committee and I do not believe in that. I consult with core developers and users on important matters but I think there has to be one individual who ultimately takes decisions about the direction of the project. We have explored the possibility of joining the free software conservatory but we got no feedback. Rails is owned by a corporation (37signals) which is owned by one individual. It seems to be the model works well for them. In my case I decided not to pass copyright and trademark to experts4solutions because I thought some would have criticized it. I am not the only committer to the main web2py branch. Jonathan L. is also a committer and will use his power in case I am incapacitated. Yet, that should not be a crowded space in order to avoid internal conflicts. I will write a will that explains what happens to the web2py trademark and copyright in case I die.

That last line actually supports the idea that a piece of software is owned and controlled by a single person. If a piece of software was owned by a group, be it a corporation or a foundation, the death of the core developer would make no difference as it would continue to be developed within the structure of that corporation or foundation and copyright still held by the continuing entity. In your case, if you get hit by a bus driven by a disgruntled Python developer, then no one else can simply take over the software as it is now, using any existing legal structure etc. Instead it would as you say need to be forked and in being forked legally may even need to change names as a result if you have sole rights over the original name. So, your own words support the contention expressed by some that it is 'single person framework' as far as ownership and control is concerned, an issue which is distinct from whether or not you have other contributors. Graham The purpose of the foundation is to collect money for development and advertising. Other organization like Rails have chose to create a company instead of a foundation.

[web2py] Re: Web2Py Foundation?
For what it's worth, here's my 2 cents: I think the concern that web2py is a one-man framework and how the makes enterprises (big guys) adopt web2py is a valid concern. Although in theory, people can simply fork web2py when Massimo no longer commits to the project, for whichever reason, from a bystander's point of view, it doesn't seem that easy. I am not talking about a legal perspective, I am talking about the meat of the matter. When I look at web2py's project on Google, there are a dozen developers. And most of the fixes are done by Massimo. And I maybe wrong, but I don't think web2py has a #2 guy yet (in terms of intimate technical know-how or time commitment). So the question: who can take over web2py, if Massimo no longer commits to it for whatever reason? It is not clear. So I think this concern is legit. At the same time, I think forming legal entities might not effectively address this concern. It might even hurt it with much legal and administrative overhead. Drupal did not form any legal entity until it was really established with hundreds of developers and thousands modules. I think the real concern is that we need #2, #3, etc. guys, who know web2py as much as Massimo. I don't have an answer to this, but I think one way has to do with documentation, or rather a platform that assists developers to really understand the inner workings of web2py to make it really natural for them contribute when something goes wrong. Drawing a lesson from Drupal, it has a beatiful API documentation system, a beautiful bug reporting mechanism. And it is a magnitude more complex than web2py. In summary, I think one way to address this concern is establish a platform so that it really helps developers learn about the inner workings of web2py, fix and report bugs, etc.
[web2py] Re: Not open source yet... but
I needed something that could do http get, http post and comet via
html5 websockets.
I looked at the other options gevent, twisted, etc, I either had
installation problems, or performance issues, or it was hard to figure
it out how to it.
With tornado this was trivial:
- begin --
LISTENERS = []
class NewMsgHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
self.write('htmlbodyHello/body/html')
def post(self):
data = self.request.arguments['data'][0]
[element.write_message(data) for element in LISTENERS]
class RealtimeHandler(tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler):
def open(self):
LISTENERS.append(self)
def on_message(self, message):
pass
def on_close(self):
LISTENERS.remove(self)
application = tornado.web.Application([
(r'/', NewMsgHandler), # for get and post
(r'/websocket/', RealtimeHandler), # for websockets
], auto_reload=True)
http_server = tornado.httpserver.HTTPServer(application)
http_server.listen()
tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()
end
On post it streams data to all clients connected with websockets. It
runs as fast as bare metal. It cannot possibly be faster. I tried with
up with 100 posts/seconds with 10 connected clients) and 1 post/second
with 500 connected clients (my my laptop which does not even support
epoll).
Web2py acts like a proxy for the post (does the form generation,
validation, database IO, etc.) but stays out of the way as far as
websockets are concerned. Web2py serves all the pages that need db
access.
The clients receive data from tornado and store (do not process it
else slows down the server, it queues it). The processing.js thread
processes the data 5times/second for a smooth interface.

hi all. i'm trying to have variable files included into my view, but
i'm not sure that it's possible since it seems includes are compiled
before runtime.
i want to do something like:
div
{{include nextStep + '.html'}}
/div
that isn't working because it gets compiled. so i tried:
{{function getInclude(name):}}
{{include name + '.html'}}
{{return}}
div
{{getInclude(nextStep)}}
/div
but that doesn't solve the problem. i need the include to be run
through the template interpreter, so i'm not sure i can do it in the

Although in theory, people can simply fork web2py when Massimo no longer commits to the project, for whichever reason, from a bystander's point of view, it doesn't seem that easy. I am not talking about a legal perspective, I am talking about the meat of the matter. When I look at web2py's project on Google, there are a dozen developers. And most of the fixes are done by Massimo. And I maybe wrong, but I don't think web2py has a #2 guy yet (in terms of intimate technical know-how or time commitment). So the question: who can take over web2py, if Massimo no longer commits to it for whatever reason? It is not clear. So I think this concern is legit. At the same time, I think forming legal entities might not effectively address this concern. It might even hurt it with much legal and administrative overhead. Drupal did not form any legal entity until it was really established with hundreds of developers and thousands modules. I think the real concern is that we need #2, #3, etc. guys, who know web2py as much as Massimo. I don't have an answer to this, but I think one way has to do with documentation, or rather a platform that assists developers to really understand the inner workings of web2py to make it really natural for them contribute when something goes wrong. Drawing a lesson from Drupal, it has a beatiful API documentation system, a beautiful bug reporting mechanism. And it is a magnitude more complex than web2py. In summary, I think one way to address this concern is establish a platform so that it really helps developers learn about the inner workings of web2py, fix and report bugs, etc.

[web2py] GEO region Searching...
I know we can find good inforamtion geographical stuff in teh web2py manual. But is there a way to, for example, find things in a search area around a coordinate? My guess is that I should do the following: Get the logged in users geo information (lat and long) Get the distance away that I want to search around that person and calculate the lat and logitudes of that area... Find if the lat and log of the items.lat and items.long in my database are within the regions of the users.lat and users.log and the (areas.lat and areas.long)* for for four directions. Does that make sences? Would that be the best aproach? Best Regards, Jason Brower

[web2py] cannot define_table after executesql drop table
I called define_table to create a table product. This worked fine. Then I called executesql(DROP TABLE PRODUCT). The product table appears to have been dropped from the database. However when I run the application again it fails in the model in at the define_table line with OperationalError: no such table: product I am able to define_table(product2.) and db.product2.drop() and define_table(product2) again. However as soon as I use the manual SQL DROP it seems that I cannot use that table name again in the database. Is there somewhere the table names are stored? Is it possible to cleanly delete tables outside the DAL using DROP TABLE?
Re: [web2py] cannot define_table after executesql drop table
Best way is manually defining migration file names, all the table history
information and diffs are stored in /databases/xxx.table which is
randomly named.
You can do:
db.define_table('products',Field('name'),migrate='products.table')
In that way, when you need to purge the table information and history, just
delete the products.table file from /databases folder.

[web2py] Re: variable include
great call, luther. thank to you and ron for the help.
here was the solution:
1) have the main view code call a component i called stepFunc
2) have stepFunc then render the appropriate mini-view
[views]
** first, i defined a view for each step. so there's a folder at
default/views/step and it has files like step1.html, step2.html, etc.
**
[main view]
** the variable step contains something like 'step1' **
div
{{=LOAD(c='default', f='stepFunc.load', args=[step], ajax=False,
ajax_trap=False)}}
/div
[controller]
** there needs to be some error handling but this is the basic gist **
def stepFunc():
step = None
if request.args:
step = request.args[0]
response.view = 'step/' + step + '.html'
return dict(step=step)
this solves the problem perfectly. the only downside is that the steps
don't have access to variable from the original view -- everything the
steps see must be passed by the stepFunc controller. so it functions
differently from an include in that way -- the only variable it
understands here is step.

That site you reference is meaningless. Neither Django or web.py are web servers but application frameworks. That is the same sort of flawed benchmarking that Tornado used to claim their web server was so much better when they first announced it. That is, they compared a hello world program written with a full stack web framework to a very basic hello world program written directly to low level web server API. The fairer comparison would have been basic WSGI hello world program to basic Tornado hello world program. Do that and you will find the results are very very different. Anyway, when will people learn that these simplistic benchmarks are meaningless. Your site would never run at 100% capacity and you would never want it to. The overheads are also never usually going to be in the hosting mechanism unless you really screw up its configuration, which admittedly many do. Instead the real bottlenecks are in your application and database usage. Ultimately these benchmark comparisons are little more than a pissing competition and you are just wasting your time. Use whatever solution you find fits your ability to manage it. If you find one solution too much for your level of knowledge then don't use it. Just because you cant get a solution to work doesn't mean there is something wrong with that solution. This though doesn't seem though to stop people rubbishing particular solutions even though reality is that the problem is their own incompetence and inability to get it running properly.

Re: [web2py] Re: Web2Py Foundation?
Then maybe a bit of info around massimo being the BDFL (python/linux, benevolent dictator for life) being out there might work. As said before, seems very much like a perception problem rather than something that will be solved via some sort of company or group running things rather than a single person. The current setup works great for me, but identifying that there are a few people (the list above is awesome) who are web2py experts, and very experienced in the code, even if there is a BDFL who is gatekeeper, and setting that as the expectation/perception going forward might well fix perception without any changes neccesary. Perhaps an about the developers page or something? Or an explanation of some sort on the web2py site?

[web2py] Re: couchdb anybody?
With CouchDB in particular, is there any thoughts for treating nested
structures as though they had been retrieved through a join?
Taking the following document:
{
_id: 'abcd1234',
type: 'person',
name: 'John Doe',
phones: ['555-555-3614', '555-555-1812'],
addresses: ['123 S Nowhere Ln...']
}
Because the phones and addresses, although nested objects, can be
added as top level objects to a view arbitrarily, and because self-
contained documents like the above are the way to do things in Couch,
it seems prudent to be able to simulate 'table' relationships in the
DAL in some way, in this example with phones and addresses being
understood as virtual tables so as to integrate with SQLTABLE and
CRUD, to name a few.
Additionally, when completed, will we be able to define arbitrary
predefined views as read-only tables that can only be filtered by key/
key-range? Temporary views will have noticeably slower performance,
which would make ad-hoc filters something to be discouraged.

Hi I have such controller in default.py def index(): dzialy = db().select(db.dzialy.ALL,orderby=db.dzialy.kolejnosc) dzialy_reversed = dzialy.sort(lambda dzial: dzial.kolejnosc,reverse=True) return dict(dzialy=dzialy,dzialy_reversed=dzialy_reversed) I use this with google app engine SDK (for GAE deployment) so started it up with dev_appserver.py It works just fine with Version 1.89.5 (2010-11-21 22:12:54) but Version 1.91.4 (2010-12-22 17:31:23) fails with this error listed below Traceback (most recent call last): File /media/AA1/GAE/web2py/gluon/restricted.py, line 188, in restricted exec ccode in environment File /media/AA1/GAE/web2py/applications/init/controllers/ default.py:index, line 69, in module File /media/AA1/GAE/web2py/gluon/globals.py, line 95, in lambda self._caller = lambda f: f() File /media/AA1/GAE/web2py/applications/init/controllers/ default.py:index, line 7, in index File /media/AA1/GAE/web2py/gluon/dal.py, line 4388, in select return self.db._adapter.select(self.query,fields,attributes) File /media/AA1/GAE/web2py/gluon/dal.py, line 2654, in select (items, tablename, fields) = self.select_raw(query,fields,attributes) File /media/AA1/GAE/web2py/gluon/dal.py, line 2611, in select_raw tablename = self.get_table(query) File /media/AA1/GAE/web2py/gluon/dal.py, line 894, in get_table raise RuntimeError, No table selected RunimeError: No table selected Is that because my code is wrong or we lost some compatibility?
[web2py] Cron: what happens if a process isn't finished and the next time to start it comes again?
I am working on moving some of the computation-intensive processes to a cron-launched scheme. I have some that run every minute, every 2 minutes, every 5 minutes and every 15 minutes. In production, it's possible that the volume of incoming data would result in the task not finishing before its next cron slot fires again. In development , however, I can flood the system quite easily by importing data in larger chunks. At the moment, my laptop (fairly decent machine) is essentially unusable because there are so many python processes consuming RAM. Here's a slightly cleaned-up sample of ps: 6716 ttys0000:01.70 ../Python web2py.py -a 1234 -i 127.0.0.1 -p 8000 6722 ttys0000:36.46 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/DAQ/setup_DAQ -a recycle 6724 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 7239 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 7543 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 7641 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 7720 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 7819 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8781 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8783 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8784 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8787 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8789 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8790 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8791 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8792 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8867 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8868 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8872 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8946 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8947 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8949 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8950 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8951 ttys0000:00.00 (Python) 8948 ttys0000:00.46 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/array_1minsRollup -a recycle 7320 ttys0001:04.75 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 7424 ttys0000:56.54 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 7544 ttys0000:50.19 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 7643 ttys0000:42.32 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 7722 ttys0000:36.26 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 7820 ttys0000:30.36 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 7899 ttys0000:25.12 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 8013 ttys0000:20.99 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 8090 ttys0000:17.28 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 8189 ttys0000:14.05 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 8271 ttys0000:11.55 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 8364 ttys0000:07.50 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 8455 ttys0000:07.51 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 8557 ttys0000:05.08 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 8635 ttys0000:00.73 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/data_tableRollup -a recycle 8458 ttys0000:18.24 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/panel_1minsRollup -a recycle 8638 ttys0000:16.68 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/panel_1minsRollup -a recycle 8786 ttys0000:00.57 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/panel_1minsRollup -a recycle 7061 ttys0000:43.78 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 7140 ttys0000:12.82 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 7240 ttys0000:12.35 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 7319 ttys0000:12.37 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 7423 ttys0000:12.20 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 7541 ttys0000:12.10 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 7640 ttys0000:12.26 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 7721 ttys0000:12.31 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 7818 ttys0000:12.59 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 7898 ttys0000:12.53 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 8012 ttys0000:12.46 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 8092 ttys0000:12.46 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 8188 ttys0000:12.26 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 8270 ttys0000:11.96 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 8363 ttys0000:12.05 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S Debug/rounding/stringdataRollup -a recycle 8454 ttys0000:12.12 ../Python ../web2py.py -J -M -S

[web2py] Re: Web2Py Foundation?
Then maybe a bit of info around massimo being the BDFL (python/linux, benevolent dictator for life) being out there might work. As said before, seems very much like a perception problem rather than something that will be solved via some sort of company or group running things rather than a single person. I am going to clarify my opinion, not to be argumentative but in hope that it can be helpful. I do not think that it's a perception problem. I think the concern that web2py being a one-man show is very real. You can't deny the fact that Massimo is at the forefront of every facet of web2py (PR, documentation, coding, user interaction, etc.) Now, we have to be thankful to Massimo for all of the energy and passion put into this. And maybe, without other people filling in the roles, he'll have to do it. But one can't deny the fact that this is very real. Linux, Python, ... don't have this problem. Linus' role, I think, is quite minimal (but important). But we shouldn't talk about and implicitly compare web2py to these big projects as it's not fair. The point is like you put every software, databases, etc. of your company into one big, powerful, reliable server. Yes, there's an advantage. But it's also a valid source of concern: one server. Personally, I, and I think many people here, don't have problem with this set up. But I think big companies justifiably do. I would like to see web2py becomes matured in a similar model as Drupal, at lease with a PR manager, a release manager, a documentation manager, and a newbie-assistance manager, together with a platform that attracts developers and encourages contribution. Massimo's role should be in developing and setting visions. This is what Dries (Drupal's founder) does. He gives visions for upcoming versions of Drupal. And this is really something that attracts the big guys from the industry. Imagine Massimo declares, for example, web2py 2.x will heavily support on mobile computing, cloud computing, etc. Then, I'll predict that people, developers and companies with vested interests in these areas will jump in. In summary, the big guys care about not just where things are now, but also where things will be. They care about not being left in the cold, if Massimo decides to move to Hawaii and retires early. They care about where web2py is moving to.

Do you see this log message?
logger.warning('WEB2PY CRON: Stale cron.master detected')
I don't think that there's a good global solution to this kind of problem; cron
is really oriented toward jobs that can finish in a short time period.
One approach would be to have a daemon process (or a pool of them, maybe one
per core) to do the work, and in your cron jobs simply queue work for them.
Alternatively (or perhaps in addition) you might want to introduce a little
back pressure to your clients, so as not to accept more work than your server
is capable of handling in a reasonable time.
With the latest version of web2py/Rocket, you can lower the limit on request
threads (I count 22 below), which would be a brute-force way of getting back
pressure.

[web2py] Re: variable include
If the variables to be accessed from the original view are not needed
to be passed back to python, it is possible to store the variables in
javascript, and then access the variables from different components.
To view the problem differently, you may wish to look at

great call, luther. thank to you and ron for the help.
here was the solution:
1) have the main view code call a component i called stepFunc
2) have stepFunc then render the appropriate mini-view
[views]
** first, i defined a view for each step. so there's a folder at
default/views/step and it has files like step1.html, step2.html, etc.
**
[main view]
** the variable step contains something like 'step1' **
div
{{=LOAD(c='default', f='stepFunc.load', args=[step], ajax=False,
ajax_trap=False)}}
/div
[controller]
** there needs to be some error handling but this is the basic gist **
def stepFunc():
step = None
if request.args:
step = request.args[0]
response.view = 'step/' + step + '.html'
return dict(step=step)
this solves the problem perfectly. the only downside is that the steps
don't have access to variable from the original view -- everything the
steps see must be passed by the stepFunc controller. so it functions
differently from an include in that way -- the only variable it
understands here is step.

I thought it was intentional to keep urlencode compat.
I used to solve it like this:
vars = (('a',1), ('b',2), ('b',3))
There was a fix a little while back, I think, to handle this for incoming
URLs. Sometimes a key appears more than once in a URL query string, like this:
http://domain.com/a/b/c?a=1b=2b=3
A typical place this happens is for form checkboxes, where the same key
(associated with the group of checkboxes) gets sent once for each box that's
checked.
This shows up in request.vars as a list, so the above ends up being something
like:
vars = dict(a=1, b=[2,3])
...except that they're strings.

request.vars is a dict already, so it was more straightforward to go the other
way. Also, I think that's the way that a lot of cgi packages do it (Perl, for
example, IIRC).

[web2py] How to test for a web2py record or record ID ?
Hi, using web2py, frequently I write functions that will do stuff with specific database records. When writing functions that will deal with specific database records, I want to write them to be flexible on the way I may reference the record I want. I mean, I may pass different kinds of arguments to the function and, as long as this argument is sufficient to identify a record, the function should figure it out how to retrieve the record. For example, if I call myfunc(some string), the function will query db for a record with title==arg, if I have an object that has enough information for the function to build a query, I want to be able to call it myfunc(myobj). If I have an ID returned from a database insertion, I want to be able to pass it as myfunc(id), if I have the record itself, I want to be able to pass it also, like myfunc(rows.first()), and so on.. My doubt is how to reliably identify if the argument is from web2py. I thought in something like: def somefunc(arg1) if isinstance(arg1, string): myrecord = db().select(db.mytable.myfield == arg1) if isinstance(arg1, myclass): myrecord = db.mytable(myclass.record_id) elif IS_WEB2PY_ID(arg1): myrecord = db.mytable(arg1) elif IS_WEB2PY_RECORD(arg1): myrecord = arg1 # do whatever with myrecord So, how could be the test for IS_WEB2PY_ID() ? I took a look at web2py source and saw that insert() may return many things, it may be an integer id, a dict, a tuple... I also got a bit confused when tables uses custom primarykeys. And about IS_WEB2PY_RECORD() ? Test if argument is an instance of Row class is enough? Regards, Fabiano
[web2py] Book misinformation about Multiple submission prevention with multiple forms
Hi, I just read a paragraph on the book that really worried me, on Chapter 7, Section Forms and Validators / FORM / Multiple forms per page: It reads (...) when multiple forms are present on the same page, the mechanism for preventing double submission breaks, and you must omit the session argument when calling the accepts method. (...). This really disturbed me because the way I see, the main benefit of this mechanism is not to prevent double form submission but to prevent CSRF attacks, which is a very important feature these days. Prevent CSRF attacks per se is a complex subject [1] to just let it on each developers hand, specially when the framework in use already has good prevention mechanism. What also bothered me was that, considering the importance of this matter, I could not see any technical reason to this mechanism not work with multiple forms or be broken by it. So, before look at web2py code, I decide to test it first. Doing what the book recommends, omitting the session when call accepts(), has the obvious effect of disabling the mechanism, just pressing F5 after a submission makes a new submission. Then, I tried to put the session argument back to see how would it break before dive in to the code. And I had a very pleasant surprise, it didn't! It worked flawlessly, with each form having a different formkey. I guess this was fixed after that book section was written. If so, it may look just an outdated information, but I see it as security issue also, as any one that follows its recommendation may end with a vulnerable application, without need, with an important security feature just disabled.

The book is incorrect. There is no problem with multiple forms per page with one caveat. If two or more of the form are SQLFORM.factory forms or if they are SQLFORMs related to the same table, you must give each of them unique names.

Hi Bruno, I've just tried using your powertables plugin and I love it. The general appearance is great and the default search function is exactly what I was looking for. I'm looking forward to trying out the features you've planned. One small concern I have is the example I implemented allows me to page to 'next' and 'previous' but there is not a link for 'first' or 'last' page. It would be great if this was possible. Keep up the good work. - Tom On Dec 18, 3:38 pm, Bruno Rocha rochacbr...@gmail.com wrote: jqGrid also supports progressive loading (without paging , it does ajax to load while scrolling down).

[web2py] Re: Web2Py Foundation?
Wow, some heavy duty concerns in this thread... I'm not fully versed in the detailed legalities of those things, but I'll elaborate things as I understand them and perhaps I can be corrected if I'm wrong... Basically, I get Web2py under the GLP licence. Under that licence, I can: 1) Use and distribute the unmodified web framework indefinitely as long as I provide a copy of the licence and the source code 2) Modify the source code of the Framework as I see fit as long as long as I make an open source copy of my modification available with an original copy of the licence and indicate how it was modified from the original source The above would apply to any copy I downloaded when the licence was in force, even if say, Massimo was struck by a meteor and Web2py stopped being distributed under such a licence. So, the main worry isn't that if Massimo is eaten by raiding cannibals, people won't have the legal means to distribute future modified copies of Web2py, but rather that nobody may have the expertize or interest to do so, correct?

So, your own words support the contention expressed by some that it is 'single person framework' as far as ownership and control is concerned, an issue which is distinct from whether or not you have other contributors.
