[web2py] Failed to import a module that named with 'plugin_' prefix in application/modules directory.
When I am working with a module located in application/modules directory with development server with python 2.7, having the module's name with 'plugin_' prefix works fine. Stuff that does NOT work import plugin_module I deployed the module with the app to the Apache server on Windows with python 2.7. , and it gives me ImportError. So I changed the module's name to without 'plugin_' prefix, it started working. Stuff that does work import module It gave me a feeling of crisis a bit since I was confident that it would work as It has worked on development server. I just want to confirm that the problem is of my naming convention, or some policy related matter of web2py, or python's module naming violation. Thank you.
[web2py] Some say local_import is deprecated. Is it?
While solving some problems of importing module, I found a web article that contains some argument saying that local_import is deprecated. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.web2py/67885 The web2py book (ed 3.1) has no mention about local_import being deprecated, so I would like to know it is or it is not.
Re: [web2py] Some say local_import is deprecated. Is it?
It is still supported and should work, but it is deprecated and encouraged to use the new import system On Fri, Oct 14, 2011 at 3:22 AM, seongjoo seongjoo@gmail.com wrote: While solving some problems of importing module, I found a web article that contains some argument saying that local_import is deprecated. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.web2py/67885 The web2py book (ed 3.1) has no mention about local_import being deprecated, so I would like to know it is or it is not. -- -- Bruno Rocha [ About me: http://zerp.ly/rochacbruno ] [ Aprenda a programar: http://CursoDePython.com.br ] [ O seu aliado nos cuidados com os animais: http://AnimalSystem.com.br ] [ Consultoria em desenvolvimento web: http://www.blouweb.com ]

Yes, it does, thank you.

(I am not sure how to use 'SPAN' in this case - or why) and now I get a list
of links which is what I was looking for.
But the links are wrong. When clicked on the first link the URL was

where it should have downloaded the record with id=6 from db.wbdocuments.
Now I just get a 404 NOT FOUND.

[web2py] Re: IMPORTANT
My 2p worth. I run a couple of communities relating to software testing. One is public (uktmf.com) one is private (testers-retreat.org) and this kind of discussion arises from time to time, often about face to face communications. People who are passionate DO get upset - it happens. Testers are a particularly pedantic lot and see their mission in life to be critical. So testers are 'ten times worse'. This forum is about web2py for users of it and developers of it. There's a famous poem by W.B. Yeats http://elise.com/quotes/quotes/yeats.htm ... tread softly because you tread on my dreams. If you share your dreams here - people will tread on them if they don't share them. Period. So if you have a passion that isn't web2py or python or related - watch out - you may offend and be offended. For example. This is just an EXAMPLE. No offence Gour, but I don't think your quote stacks up. Let me critique it very quickly. All concepts are mental contrivances. So conceptions of anything are mental speculations. In ANY world. So the quote says nothing and its just plain wrong anyway. Have we enriched humanity by sharing the quote or critiquing it? Of course not. It's just noise. Now everyone could critique everyone elses quasi-religious, -mystic or -philosophic statements made in the forum. But it really won't get us anywhere. It's just noise and detracts from the purpose of the group. So put your non-web2py musings somewhere else. It's not because you may offend it's because criticism may offend you and there are plenty other forums for that kind of thing. So the policy should be - bring germane content in here or expect to be criticised - politely at all times of course.

Yes, I am using Firebug. I have tried again now and still have not got to a
working solution.
The form looks like this (screenshot attached if from the browser opened by
Splinter):
table
tbody
tr id=wbdocuments_name__row
td class=w2p_fl
label id=wbdocuments_name__label for=wbdocuments_nameDocument name: /
label
/td
td class=w2p_fw
input id=wbdocuments_name class=string type=text value= name=name
/td
td class=w2p_fc/td
/tr
tr id=wbdocuments_file__row
td class=w2p_fl
label id=wbdocuments_file__label for=wbdocuments_fileDownload: /label
/td
td class=w2p_fw
input id=wbdocuments_file class=upload type=file name=file
/td

td class=w2p_fl/td
td class=w2p_fw
input type=submit value=Submit
/td
td class=w2p_fc/td
/tr
/tbody
/table
I have tried
from splinter.browser import Browser
browser = Browser()
browser.visit('http://localhost:8000/init/wbank/addoc')
browser.fill('name', 'Part_A.pdf')
browser.fill('file', '/home/js/web2py/applications/akb/uploads/Part_A.pdf')
At this stage the form looks like the screenshot. You will see that the
'name' field is empty.
Then
button = browser.find_by_css('button').first
button.click()
And the opened browser was asking for an admin password and the record was
not in the table.
With mechanize I don't get further than this:
br.select_form(name = _formname)
FormNotFoundError: no form matching name '_formname'
I don't know how to use the form_id in this case:
br.select_form(id = 'wbdocuments_name')
TypeError: select_form() got an unexpected keyword argument 'id'

Yes, it does, thank you.

I agree. I personally feel that as I use the book and the online version all the time, the least I could do is pay for it once per year. Of course it is one of the world's best bargains when compared to the effort which goes into producing it and the time which it can save me. It is a wonderful asset to our community.
Re: [web2py] Re: IMPORTANT
sometime ago I have been contacted by an user of this list asking me help for a project. After some messages, this user wanted me to develop an e-store for his client. A big company and this would be a great project (he would pay a large ammount of money for me) so I discovered that it was a hunting stuff e-store. to sell hunting weapons and taxidermy stuff. I reject the job and for sure I did not helped him directly with this. I am vegan and animal rights activist (abolitionist) for me is no go to work in a project where animal exploitation is directly the goal. also I will never directly work/help projects with any kind of racism, sexism or speciesism. But, generally we are here to help and contribute with open source community and web development. I will help anyone if I can, in technical issues even if I do not know the purposes of the project. And I will never be offended if some user writes a religious signature or some sentence which invokes any kind of animal exploitation because I understand that there are cultural limits and I am used to live with this. So, I call you all to not be offended if I came with meat is murder or Go vegan in my signature. I do not use this kind of propaganda here. but I talk a lot about it in my social profiles. I think it is very health to share our ideas and cultural differences, only needs to be tolerant and keep focus on technical issues. which is the list purpose. and if needed use other channels to discuss our politics. http://zerp.ly/rochacbruno Em 14/10/2011 10:54, Gour g...@atmarama.net escreveu: On Fri, 14 Oct 2011 06:26:33 -0700 (PDT) Massimo Di Pierro massimo.dipie...@gmail.com wrote: On the other side you cannot be guaranteed other people like what they see and if they do not they may not help you.

Now I can confidently recommend web2py to our company and group companies in the world.
[web2py] Re: IMPORTANT
The number of posts suggests that a policy would be useful. Many have said 'live and let live' should be sufficient, but I personally find that totally inadequate because it does not provide any definition at all and simply leaves this topic without any conclusion. I suggest we simply restrict our comments towards proposing how the policy should be written and here is my suggestion below. Once we have a simple policy it might be amended in the light of experience... This group is established to discuss all things related to Web2py and everyone is requested to bear this in mind when making posts. If anyone wishes to personalise their signature to include their other interests or commercial affiliations that is fine, but in the interests of reducing bandwidth and noise we request, as a guideline, that members restrict their signatures to no more than 120(?) characters. Whilst everyone is encouraged to 'live and let live', any sexist, racist, or otherwise discriminatory or insulting posts will not be tolerated.

[web2py] Design Issue
I am trying to create a web app that allows you to control various devices simultaneously. The simplified design is as follows: - One main background process continuously polls a database table for any device control requests - Once it sees a request, it spawns two threads: send and receive thread - Send thread periodically polls the commands table - Receive thread updates the responses table - The view basically writes to the commands table and polls the responses table First of all, is this a good design? Should the communication between the threads and the view be through the database (SQLite)? Also, its worth mentioning that there the database is updated quite often since the device is being controlled in real-time.

Sounds simple but probably isn't. Has anyone got a working script to do this perhaps? Paul.

[web2py] Does Python Scale?
Makes sense to me. If you care to substitute 'web2py' for 'python' you can come to pretty much the same conclusion. The choice of web2py influences your architecture, of course, but it neither prevents nor guarantees scalability. Does Python Scale? Mitch Garnaat 10/14/11 10:45 AM Elastician I wonder how many times I've been asked that question over the years.

These are huge sites, handling gazillions of hits a day. They are written in Python. Therefore, Python scales. Yeah, but what about that web app I wrote that one time. Hosted on a cheapo, oversubscribed VPS, running straight CGI talking to a remote MySQL database running in a virtual machine on my Macbook Air. That thing fell over like a drunken sailor when I invited a few of my friends to go check it out. So, yeah. Forget what I said before. Obviously Python doesn't scale. The truth is, it's the wrong question. The stuff that allows Dropbox to store a million files every 15 minutes has little to do with Python just as the things that caused my feeble web app to fail had little to do with Python. It has to do with the overall architecture of the application. How databases are sharded, how loosely or tightly components have been coupled, how you monitor, and how you react to the data your monitoring is providing you. And lots of other stuff. But you have to deal with those issues no matter what language you write the system in. No reasonable choice of computer language is going to guarantee your success or your failure. So pick the one you are most productive in and focus on properly architecting your app. That scales. inline: 1231480044619721857-1682894398409005844.gif

[web2py] Re: migrate file system uploads to database?
Say you have
db.define_table('mytable',Field('file','upload'))
step 1: add a blob
db.define_table('mytable',Field('file','upload',uploadfield='fileblob'),Field('fileblob','blob')
step 2 move the data in blob:
for row in db(db.mytable).select():
if row.file and not row.fileblob:
data =
open(os.path.join(request.folder,'uploads',row.file),'rb').read()
row.update_record(fileblob=data)
db.commit()
Done

Hi all,
I have the same requirement - moving a directory of upload files into
the database. I was thinking the way to do it would be to copy the
original table definition, then make the field changes to the table
definitions, then write a script to process all the file-based records
and post them into the new table. Sounds simple but probably isn't.
Has anyone got a working script to do this perhaps?

[web2py] plugin_wiki crud and auth
I am attempting to use plugin_wiki with an app I have been developing but am encountering a problem. The application itself uses CRUD and I have integrated CRUD with auth by adding the line crud.settings.auth = auth in my model. Unfortunately when I attempt to use plugin_wiki to edit pages I get a not authorized error message. It will create the page but not let me edit. If I remove the crud.settings.auth = auth line plugin_wiki works correctly. But I need that settings so that auth is enforced on my various CRUD forms. I was wondering if there is some configuration option or something that I am missing that will allow plugin_wiki to work when CRUD is integrated with auth? From a brief look at the code it does not appear to be the case. If not is there any suggestions of how I can make this work together? My initial thought was just to add the permissions to the table in question. I tried to do this from my model file but that does not work. I assume it is because the plugin has not defined the tables before my model is executed. I would like to avoid modify the plugin itself as it would be nice to be able to use the latest version without having to modify it each time. I tried both the plugin_wiki from the online documentation and the latest source from the cube2py project just in case this had been addressed but neither worked. I appreciate any guidance, this is my first web application and my first python application so please forgive any obvious things I missed.
[web2py] Re: plugin_wiki crud and auth
You need to create a new group and this this group all crud permissions (read,write,delete,select) for all plugin_wiki tables. Than make all users members of the group.

[web2py] Re: plugin_wiki crud and auth
Thank you for such a quick response. I attempted to do just this from within my model file but got the error KeyError: 'plugin_wiki_page'. My guess was that the table is not defined before my own model runs so I can not set the permissions there. So I guess my question at this point is what the best way to set these permissions would be? I have created logic in my model file that checks whether specific groups exist, and if not it creates them and grants them the expected the permissions. The reason I did this is that so when I deploy the app in a new environment all expected groups and permissions are created automatically instead of manually doing the work. Is there a better way I should be doing this, preferably in a manner that will make it simple for others to deploy this without having to manually set up permissions? Also thanks for such a great framework. I was able to go from 0 knowledge to within a few weeks creating a web application for management of point series where clubs can securely submit their results. I reviewed many frameworks before committing to using web2py and after these past few weeks of work am very happy that I did.
