Is there a way to tell web2py to enable generic views only for restful controller functions, and disable them otherwise? In continuing to explore both approaches, I gained a better understanding of my problem with the service approach, and I want to share it here because I think it is worth thinking about in terms of the design of web2py. The problem I have with the service approach is that it seems to make impossible to use a decorator to wrap a service controller function in order to add or remove arguments, because the service function will "block" web2py from seeing what arguments the real service function accepts, causing web2py to pass the wrong arguments. There is a certain Python idiom that goes something like this: def accept_extra_arg(func): def wrapper(extra_arg, *args, **kwargs): # maybe do something with extra_arg here result = func(*args, **kwargs) # maybe do something with extra_arg here return result return wrapper @accept_extra_arg def foo(x, y): return x+y The idea is that the accept_extra_arg decorator allows you to wrap your function with a handler that accepts an extra argument which the function does not see, but which is used to preprocess the function's arguments and/or postprocess its result. In the case of web APIs, for instance, this is a natural way to do something like write a series of API functions that require an API key to be used: you can have a @requires_key decorator that wraps functions, allowing the function itself to be "pure" and just concentrate on returning the data, without having to handle the checking of the API key. There is a related idiom which is the reverse, involving writing a decorator that accepts an argument and returns a decorated function accepting *fewer* arguments that the original, allowing a behavior akin to functools.partial, by which some arguments are specified in advance via the decorator, rather than being passed on each call to the decorated function. The web2py service mechanism breaks this idiom. The problem is that because the wrapped function is supposed to be agnostic as to the arguments of the function it wraps, it just accepts *args and **kwargs (in addition to its extra argument). This means that web2py won't pass it anything. This kind of breaks the RPC idea that calling the function internally should be the same as calling it via the network API: if my function wants to use *args and/or **kwargs, web2py apparently doesn't provide a way for me to use it in a seamless manner for internal vs external calls. I *think* I have been able to get around this with request.restful, because it passes everything along without trying to match the arguments. But it is somewhat annoying for the case of read-only APIs because of the extra layer of indirection required (returning a function that returns the data, rather than just returning the data). What I really want is the ability to write an arbitrary function, accepting arbitrary arguments. I want the ability to wrap that function with decorators that absorb or add arguments as I please. And then I want to be able to expose that arbitrarily wrapped function as a service endpoint (presumably by wrapping the function with a web2py decorator as the last one). I don't want any of the decorators nor the original function ever to have to worry about *how* the arguments are being passed (e.g., positionally or by keyword), and I don't want any function in the chain to ever have to worry about the number or names of any arguments other than the ones it explicitly processes from the arguments passed to it. So, basically, I want to be able to use decorators the same way I would use them in ordinary Python code, and not have web2py step in at some point and disrupt the process by which decorated functions pass their arguments to the functions they wrap. Now, that's not to say that I don't appreciate the tools web2py does offer. I've found them quite powerful. A
[web2py] Re: Python Social Auth - example site working with downlevel version of PSA
Just an update that in line with the re-organization and new site for python social auth (https://github.com/python-social-auth) I have made a new repository https://github.com/DonaldMcC/social-app-web2py with updated import statements etc. The plug-in has been tested with google, facebook, twitter and microsoft providers and demo is available at http://www.netdecisionmaking.com/socialappweb2py/default/index It's still entirely based on https://github.com/bnmnetp/w2p-social-auth but just rolled forward in line with psa changes and far from fully tested.

[web2py] How to use a list:string as string
What I want to do:
I have a Field("aa", "list:string") and I know that the internal
representation is e.g. "|x|y|z|u|v|".
Now I want to find all rows with
aa[0]=='x' and aa[1]=='y' and aa[2]=='z' and aa[3]=='u'
(that is a simplified example).
I have tried
db.mytable.aa.type = 'text'
res = db(db.mytable.aa.like('|x|y|z|u|%').select()
Some more details:
My program should find all records with '|x|y|z|u|'. If there are no
records the second try should look for '|x|y|z|'. Without any result the
next step should be to look for '|x|y|' and so on.
It works as expected.
My question: is this solution efficient?
Is there any better solution?
