oh my god.  The memory usage dropped from 71 mb from 120 mb. webfaction 
should use this as their default for installing web2py.

I can't thank you enough.

suppose?

[web2py] High memory usage in webfaction

2012-01-24 Thread Joseph Jude
Dear All,
I was expecting when I am going to get this message from webfaction team 
and I got it today. I have searched through this group and found that I 
could use uwsgi server. Before I go ahead and make changes on the site, I 
got few questions:
1. Currently it is running on apache. How do I make the switch to uwsgi and 
disable apache?
2. In the error message that webfaction sent, there are processes that 
running for 23 days (and there are many) and that adds to the memory. How 
do I know what are the unnecessary processes and kill them?
3. There is a expire_sessions.py in admin app. Does that help and if so, 
how?

[web2py] Re: contains return no rows of field list:string

2012-01-15 Thread Joseph Jude
Thank you Denes. I understood and this works fine at shell.

At web-application, I use the below code,

form = crud.create(db.entries,
next = URL('index'))

This gets me a simple text field for the 'list:string' field and whatever I 
enter gets in as,

'one,two,three'

I tried to enter ['one','two','three'] and it gets in as a single string.

so I'm still on zero.

Can someone tell me how to handle (ie. whatever is entered gets in as 
individual strings and not as a single string) from the web-app.

One option I can think of is to create a pain the form with individual 
fields and then process the form submission. But I hope I could handle this 
with crud, since it is so easy.

Thank you,
Joseph

[web2py] Re: Optimizing web2py app for GAE

2011-12-30 Thread Joseph Jude
Let us say I have the below code in db.py under models

define_table(db, )

If I change that to,
if settings.migrate:
   define_table(db,...)

rest of the queries based on this table doesn't work. I want to skip the 
definition altogether if the table is already present. Reason: I assume 
that GAE makes a datastore call for each of these define_table. So every 
page request initiates these define_table adding to the cost of datastore 
read limits posed in GAE. Is this how it happens? Can I skip definition of 
tables altogether? (I believe django doesn't invoke definition of tables 
for every request)

Objective is to optimize application on GAE.

Hi all,
As much as I'm happy to reach the front page of hacker news with 
minnaedu.appspot.com, it threw me out of the free limits of GAE. What 
surprised me was that when the number of visitors to the page was just 500 
 there are just 2 posts (basically this was a blog engine), I already 
reached .05 million datastore read limit.

My models are already in modules and am using cache.

What other optimizations would you recommend?

surprise is that with 500 hits it reached .05 million datastore reads).

[web2py] Re: configuration of mail in appengine

2011-11-14 Thread Joseph Jude
Below works for me:
steps I followed. Your context may differ and customize accordingly.
1) define a db model with the fields you want; I wanted all emails to be 
stored too, so I defined this model
2) define two functions - a contact fn that gets called from template; the 
contact fn itself calls another fn to send email; in the template you can 
validate the fields like valid email id etc.
3) This is for sending emails from admin email; customization is needed if 
otherwise


Here is the code:

def contact(): 
form = crud.create(db.contact_emails, 
onaccept=_send_email, 
next = URL('index'), 
message=T(Thank you for your message))
return dict(form=form)

def _send_email(form):
#called from successful accept of contact form
#form is sent as a first argument
mail=Mail()
mail.settings.server='gae'
mail.settings.sender=x...@gmail.com #This must be the email address of a 
registered
   #administrator for the application
mail.settings.login = None

[web2py] Handling errors in dynamic forms

2011-09-29 Thread Joseph Jude
Hi all,
With help of members of this group, I was able to produce a dynamic form 
where text fields can be added / removed at the client side. However, I got 
one (hopefully the last) problem.

This form contains two sets of fields - in the first set, there is only name 
which is mandatory; in the second set, at first 3 fields are shown, but 
users can add / remove as they like.

The issue happens when a user adds two more text field (in the 2nd set) and 
then submits a form with empty name. The form.errors kick in and then the 
original form is displayed again (loosing all data data in the dynamically 
added fields).

How do I handle this?
Thanks in advance,
Joseph


[web2py] Re: Empty HTML input array issue

2011-09-28 Thread Joseph Jude
Thanks Anthony for the reply.

1) With your answer, I understand why the ['',''] is displayed. But is there 
a way to change it?
2) [] is appended since I wanted an array. But in the mean-while I 
experimented without [] and just having 'items' as the variable name for all 
the three fields and got the same behavior (your explanation tells me why).
3) I want the user to add as many fields as needed. Think of list of to-do 
items for a single topic.
4) the db model is not a list:string. it is a regular table:

db.define_table('checklist_items',
Field('checklist_id', db.checklists),
Field('item_name')
)

5) there is only one field in the form which is mandatory; others (about 5 
other fields) are not. so I can't use keepvalues=false

Hope to hear.
Thanks again,
Joseph

IOError: [Errno 13] file not accessible: '//VERSION'

I do have python 2.7  3 installed. But under the GAE Launcher, python
path is set to /usr/bin/python where python2.5 is installed. Also I'm
able to browse the GAE admin console, so I'm assuming python version
is not a problem.

GAE SDK: 1.5.2 (am using google launcher)
web2py version: 1.98.2
Mac 10.5.8

I deleted the w2ps in the main folders too. Otherwise just changed
just the 'application' entry in app.yaml.

Your help to resolve is appreciated. Thank you,

Thanks Massimo.

But when I execute

python /usr/local/bin/dev_appserver.py appname

I get the homepage.

This error is only with appengine launcher. Also as I said, I am able
to browse the SDK console  dashboard. So I don't think it is with the
python version.

Anyway, for now I will proceed with the commandline. If someone can
help, it will be good.

Thank you,

Hi,
When I execute the below code in GAE it throws an error: unsupported

a non-GAE environment. Any tips?

print db(db.paid_by.paid_by.lower()=='cash').select(db.paid_by.ALL)[0]

Basically what I have is the description and I want to get the
corresponding id stored in the database.

it does. I did the below  it worked in gae

def index():

It should be something else. Also is there any other way achieve this:
having a description (the user can input in upper or lower) finding
out the id?

Thx,

 You can use https to protect your password... http is not enough to do
 so...



I'm going to deploy in GAE, so I don't think https is an option. In
the out-of-the-box web2py passwords are not visible. I would like to
adopt the same but with user name rather than email. Is it possible?

BTW: I am able to get a web2py app pretty quickly; but this auth

is explained in detail (like what steps to take)? I've got the web2py

[web2py:32235] Adding a user name to user registration

2009-10-05 Thread Joseph Jude

Hi,
I want to customize the auth functionality to add a user id(or name).
This is what I've done so far.
DB:

from gluon.tools import Auth
auth=Auth(globals(),db)
auth.settings.table_user=db.define_table(
auth.settings.table_user_name,
Field('user_name',length=128,default='',requires=[IS_NOT_IN_DB

Field('last_name',length=128, default=''),
Field('email',length=128,default='',requires=[IS_EMAIL(), IS_NOT_IN_DB
(db,'%s.email'%auth.settings.table_user_name)]),
Field('password', 'password', readable=False, label='Password',
requires=CRYPT()),
Field('registration_key', length=128, writable=False,
readable=False,default=''))
##create all necessary tables
auth.define_tables()

CONTROLLER:

def register():

front end; is there any other js that I need to include?
2) in login, the password is sent in plain text. how to rectify
3) should the users so registered be inserted into any groups (as part
of auth framework)? If so, do I do this in the register controller
function?

[web2py:20006] Question on request.vars

2009-04-19 Thread Joseph Jude

Hi all,
I have a function as below. This is called as part of API function
rather than from the browser.

def assign():
print request.vars.fields
if request.vars.fields:
case_values=json.loads(request.vars.fields)
ret_dict=api.assign_case(db,case_values)
else:
ret_dict={'id': 1, 'msg': 'No parameters received'}
return json.dumps(ret_dict)


When I invoke this via,
curl -u u...@example.com:web2py http://localhost:8000/init/api/assign/
-d fields='{id:16,assign_to:age...@example.com}'

I do get request.vars.fields properly and the function executes as
desired. However when I try the same via a python script like the
below:

data = {
'fields': {'case_id': 16, 'assign_to': 'age...@example.com'}
}

data = urllib.urlencode(data)
response = urllib2.urlopen(request,data).read()


There is no input parameter (fields). When I examine the
request.vars.fields, it shows like the below:

Storage {'\r\nfields': {'case_id': 16, 'assign_to':
'age...@example.com'%}

There are \r\n at the begining and % at the end. Is there a reason for
this? How can I test my function using python script (ie achieve the
same result as curl).

Hope my question is not too confusing.

Joseph

Thanks for the reply. But it didn't work. I've this simple assign

[web2py:19862] reading http headers

2009-04-16 Thread Joseph Jude

Hi all,
I'm implementing api for my application. I've written other controller
functions. However I need implement the authentication. I am not able
to find a way to use the default Auth(). I thought of the below
option:

at client (i.e: calling applications)
- encode userid  password
- pass it as part of http basic auth header
- if authenticated proceed further

at server (ie my application)
- read uid  pwd from headers
- authenticate with the user table
- if authenticated, let the application to proceed

does this look okay approach? Is there a better way?

Considering that this is okay, I've figured out how to do all the
steps except reading http headers (step 1 at server). Can someone
throw some light?

Thank you,
Joseph

status_values[status.id]=status.name

form=FORM(TABLE(TR(Status:, status_values.values()[0])))

[web2py:18507] MVC question

2009-03-24 Thread Joseph Jude

All,
Just a question on the best practice - in terms of development 
continuous maintenance. web2py (like django) allows to define forms in
controller itself. And it allows having 'business logic' embedded in
views too. To bring out the application quickly, such mixing is fine.
But what about long term maintenance and also to call the application
truly MVC? What are your thoughts basis of your experience.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. :-)

On Mar 24, 12:22 pm, Yarko Tymciurak yark...@gmail.com wrote:
 Let's look at what is meant by the term business logic --- this is what
 implementspart of a solution for a problem statement.  If we were talking
 4-tier model, then
 we would say business logic and engineering logic; it
 is the implementation in language of the solution/problem space, and just a
 further
 decomposition --- still  implementation logic, still about the solution.

 With me so far?

 Now - what is presentation?  It is how something is shown to the user.

 Does that require logic?  Yes, it certainly can (consider javascript, etc.).

 What differentiates the logic of presentation form the logic of business?
  The concern, the
 type of processing.  Is there some point at the boundary between these two
 where it might be fuzzy?  Yes.  How do you resolve that?  You just make
 a choice, and do it however you choose.  You'll probably do it differntly
 than
 I would.  In the details, there's rarely a right or wrong - there's a
 better for this,
 or better for that.

 Back to this question about where do you define forms.

 What is a form?  Is it strictly a presentation statement?  Or is it a
 statement of
 required interaction with the user?  Look:

 Business logic:  we need name, address, phone to take an order
 Engineering logic  we need input from user to collect name, address,
 phone
 Presentation logic:  we want Name to be above address, address above phone
 - all on one form.

 Business logic:  the customer may save his information with us, but that is
 not required for an order
 Engineering logic:  persist name, address, and phone if requested (e.g.
 offer request to save)
 Presentation:  Checkbox for save my info

 Now - where do you define form?

 It's a design decision - YOU decide.

 But some things are rather clear:   validation logic probably should not be
 part of the presentation (although there may be valid reasons for this in
 your application)

 Defining color of form probably does not belong in the controller (better
 left somewhere else).

 Does it make sense to separate basic definition of an HTML form from the
 controller?  That depends - are you going to allow input through PDF forms?
  csv?  Then maybe it makes sense to separate this.   If you're a web-input
 only application, then maybe not.

 By now you get the idea:  some questions you can ask over and over, and get
 guidelines, and reasons behind them (e.g. color of form), but _most_ of
 these details are design decisions.  Part of these are made or encouraged a
 certain way by the design decisions in the framework you choose to use;
  part of these will always be up to you, the software and web designer -
 what makes sense for one application will better be done another way;  many
 things won't matter all that much... until you use them long enough, and
 then you will change your mind (e.g. refactor).

 mvc is just another way to say you've split your application into a data
 layer, a business layer, and a presentation layer - it's a separation of
 concerns;  it serves to reduce design coupling.

 The goal is a maintainable and extensible app.

 The devil is in the details.

 Questions of truly MVC are like truly agile or truly capitalist /
 market economy or truly social --- as long as you don't loose the reasons
 behind these, why these abstractions (shortcuts to concepts) came to be in
 the first place, you're ok (otherwise you get into trouble):  maintainable,
 extensible;  frequent feedback;  efficient, self-regulating allocation of
 resources in society;  social responsibility to people in your community.

  controller itself. And it allows having 'business logic' embedded in
  views too. To bring out the application quickly, such mixing is fine.
  But what about long term maintenance and also to call the application
  truly MVC? What are your thoughts basis of your experience.

  Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this,
  Joseph

Massimo,
I understood the license part. I believe using web2py, I could
create .exe  .apps. Is there any documentation on how to go about -
like steps to use setup.py?

Thx,

Thx Massimo. My confusion was because I saw setup_exe.py 
setup_app.py. I assumed that using these two files, I'll be able to
create executables.

 I am not sure I understand what you want to do.

 If you name your app init, it will be the default app in web2py.
 If you unzip web2py binary, run it, create the init app, and re-zip
 it, this is as close as it gets to create an executable. The
 executable is web2py, not your app, but your app comes with it and
 starts when web2py starts.

 You can also install your init app bytecode compiled so that you do
 not give away the source code.

[web2py:18377] Re: Google Authentication + web2py on GAE

2009-03-20 Thread Joseph Jude

I'm assuming that you want to validate the user via google auth and
then allow the authenticated user into your application. Sometime
back, i did this for a desktop based application updating a
application hosted in appengine (after authentication). I wrote abt it
here:
http://www.jjude.com/2008/09/18/authenticating-in-gae/

At first I obtained the uid/pwd from the user and sent it via header
to authenticate. By one of the comments from the user, I realized that
it is not a safe manner. Later I let the google auth to validate the
user and then allow the access accordingly. The code is also shared in
google code. You can pick it up.

Hope this helps.

[web2py:18341] Re: Marketing suggestion

2009-03-19 Thread Joseph Jude

I've created a yahoo pipe to aggregate blog posts (google blog alert)
 tweets (twitter search). if you blog about web2py, please let me
know the feed URL and I'll add (in fact you can clone the pipe and
create your own too). If there are other sources (not aggregate
sources) - that you would like add, please let me know as well.

Can you enable the feeds for web2py wiki? Then I can add that too into
this sources.

URL address of the pipe: http://pipes.yahoo.com/jjudes/web2py

But there is not much of blogs / tweets abt web2py though. Hopefully,
we will see a lot in the coming days.

[web2py:17641] my first web2py app (hosted at GAE)

2009-03-07 Thread Joseph Jude

All,
I am glad to say that my first app on web2py is hosted in GAE, thanks
to ease of programming in web2py. It is my attempt to learn new
concepts (cloud computing, SAAS etc) utilizing my experience (on
helpdesk, service desk). It is hosted at: http://y-a-t-s-y.appspot.com/.
I blogged about it at: http://www.jjude.com/2009/03/08/a-first-shot-at-web2py/.
The code is hosted at: http://code.google.com/p/y-a-t-s-y/source/browse/trunk.

This is my first web2py attempt. So if any of the experts here would
be willing to do a code review, primarily of default.py (http://
code.google.com/p/y-a-t-s-y/source/browse/trunk)  layout.html (http://
code.google.com/p/y-a-t-s-y/source/browse/trunk/applications/init/
views/layout.html), it will help me to improve my coding. Feel free to
comment on other code as well.

Having done this far, I do have few questions. Your answers are
appreciated:
1) Login page shows admin, request etc buttons. How can I hide
them? Should I have to create a view template? Where should it be in
the directories? Can it be under my application directory?

2) Better yet would be possibility to have login form on the first
page (index.html) along with other static contents. How can that be
done?

3) At logout, control goes back to login page. Can it be routed to
index.html?

I've other questions too. I will throw them as I progress along.

Hopefully I'll be able to contribute to the growth of web2py, even in
a smaller way.

Thanks folks,
Joseph

[web2py:16787] URL Controller question

2009-02-23 Thread Joseph Jude

All,
I'm just starting out with web2py. I have two questions:
: the url is mapped out as /app/controller/function. so this looks
like : http://domain/init/default/index. How to have url as http://domain/index?
: as I understand from the docs, all functions in the controller
(default.py) are exposed. is it possible to hide  functions in the
controller file or should I take such functions to another file?

Thank you,
Joseph

Okay with little bit of search, I found that,
-In GAE, one can't select a single field; so I selected all fields
(db.priority.ALL) and the error 1 vanished.
-In GAE, datetime field throws up error. I removed datetime fields,
and I didn't get any error. Once I introduce the datetime field in db
model, the error is back. It is not only with null value; even when I
try to insert a value, I get the same error.

Any help?
