In the section Scheduler: It provides a *standrad* mechanism for creating and scheduling tasks.

This can be the db of the app or another* dedictade* db,perhaps one shared by multiple apps. The second argument *if* a Python dicitonary (should be is?) The -K option starts a worker. The argument of the -K option is a list of app names, separated by *comman.* These are the apps that will be served by this worker.

I would be glad to help clean up the book if you need it. Otherwise I will post the issues here. Mike
[web2py] Re: Online Book Typo
Further down in the chapter on scheduler there are these paragraphs. Once a task exists (there is a record in the scheduler_talk table), is QUEUED, and is ready (*mmeets* all the conditions specified in the record) it can be picked up by a worker. As soon as a worker is available it picks the first ready task schduled to run. The worker *create(s)* an entry in a another table scheduler_run (also create*(d)* by the scheduler). The table scheduler_run stores the status of all running tasks. Each record references a task that has been picked up by a worker. *Once* task can have muliple runs. For example *on/a *task scheduled to repeat 10 times at 1h *distance/intervals?*, will probably have 10 runs (unless one *failes*or they take longer than 1h).
[web2py] Re: Online Book Typo
One more thing: As soon as a worker is available it picks the first ready task schduled to run - As soon as a worker is available it picks the first scheduled task that is ready to run.

In fact I would like to see more examples using other frameworks, like dojo, angular.js, or yui3. I've seen quite a number of posts about people using other frameworks instead of jquery, particularly dojo, (see: http://blog.rebeccamurphey.com/2009/11/12/dojo-confessions-or-how-i-gave-up-my-jquery-security-blanket-and-lived-to-tell-the-tale for example) and I think its an impediment to tie the web2py framework too closely to one of these despite it's popularity.

[web2py] FYI Data Brewery - anyone used it?
http://databrewery.org/ Brewery is a Python http://python.org/ framework and collection of tools for analysing and mining data. Goal is to provide functions and tools for: - streaming and processing structured data from various sources, such as CSV, XLS files, Google spreadsheets, relational (SQL) databases, MongoDB (no-sql database),... - data quality auditing - data mining Complementary framework to brewery is *Cubes*: framework for online analytical processing (OLAP)
[web2py] Now everyone is Exec'ing :)
... As the blog entry goes on to point out, namedtuple is implemented by generating and exec'ing code for the classes it creates. I have a natural developer's distrust of exec, but as Raymond pointed out in a recent talk: execing code is not a security risk, execing untrusted code *is*. ... http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2011_05_28.shtml#e1215

[web2py] Re: Where is LOAD?
This blog post, http://rhettinger.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/open-your-source-more/, got me thinking how nice it would be to link from the book to the source. I'm just beginning with Python and it took me a while to find where Request, Session and Response were defined.

Is this code in globals.py missing a parameter? def stream( self, stream, chunk_size = DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE, request=None, ): missing a parameter after request=None, ?

[web2py] Re: vote for Pycharm support for Web2py
bump - new pycharm release : Today, hot on the heels of the IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 release, we’ve released a new EAP build of PyCharm 1.5. This build includes two major new features (which will probably be the last major new features of the 1.5 release). The first one is *database support*. You can now use PyCharm to edit .sql files (with full syntax highlighting and code completion), browse the structure of the tables on your database server, run queries and view their results. And of course, in *Django* applications, PyCharm will automatically recognize the databases referenced from your settings.py file and offer to configure data sources for them. (This currently works for SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL database engines).

[web2py] How easy is it to replace JQuery in Web2py?
I've been following a conversation here: http://blog.rebeccamurphey.com/ in which the author indicates a preference for Dojo Toolkit over JQuery. The comments in her posts seem to support this point of view, not to mention this less respectful post: http://bobremeika.com/2011/03/03/jquery-is-for-n00bs/ So I was just wondering how pluggable is the Javascript implementation?

Thanks Anthony, that's the information I'm looking for. The only downside re: the blog is that it's marked as old. Is there an updated source?
[web2py] Re: vote for Pycharm support for Web2py
IDE talk at Pycon2011. At 13:39 the PyCharm rep shows the Django support, which should give you some idea of what might be done with PyCharm and Web2py, so vote up support at the link mentioned above
[web2py] FAQ topic(s) on typical Web2py FUD
I'd like to see some FAQ topics that can be pointed to on the usual FUD about Web2py. For instance: In web2py the code you write for the controller layer (views) goes into files that are not Python modules because they don't include any imports to give context to external identifiers. Web2py loads, compiles, and executes those modules at runtime passing a global context using Python's exec() function. That strange (and unjustified) way of doing things disables important capabilities of modern IDEs (code completion, code hints, help, static checking, refactoring) because those files are not Python modules. It also makes it very difficult to write unit tests for the controller layer, because the global runtime context of web2py cannot be mocked. I tried to look for the Google thread in which Massimo addressed these and other issues, but the search didn't easily retrieve it, and though I knew that I had participated in it my profile history only showed posts thru the end of 2010.
[web2py] Re: FAQ topic(s) on typical Web2py FUD
Thanks all. I'm participating in the Linkedin conversation, and trying to redirect the questioners to places that these issues have already been adressed, rather than let the detractor's comments stand.
[web2py] Re: FAQ topic(s) on typical Web2py FUD
Agreed. Really can't argue with your point. And, anyone who is serious enough about researching their options would find out that these issues are never mentioned in this group, except when they are made by people unfamiliar with the framework. So, they are either non-issues or we're all involved with a huge Web2py conspiracy :) That being said, it may be the care bear in me but I like the idea of leaving hints for those who are asking the questions.

[web2py] Re: web2py on Quora
Thanks for the responses. Anthony, you're explanation is one of the clearest I've seen, and makes sense, or maybe some of these points are starting to finally sink in. Now if only this message would get out a bit more. If I ever get sufficiently experienced with this, I'll present web2py at my user group.
[web2py] Re: vote for Pycharm support for Web2py
I just voted this up too. Pycharm is a great IDE and having web2py support would be a nice feature.
[web2py] Re: web2py on Quora
I was communicating with my local Python User group, and got an opinion from one of the members a lot like this. Unfortunately I don't have the experience to answer effectively. Here is the response that I got: I don't really have time to get into an epic religious discussion but I'll try and sum it up nicely: 1. Think of exec/eval tools as weird magic best left alone. Regardless of the complicated arguments, the truth is that simply debugging code in an exec/eval argument is much harder. It means your variables are stored in variables of variables. Web framework building is hard enough without tossing in that sort of complexity. 2. I'm no security expert, but I do know that security experts always raise the flag on Security-by-JavaScript (cough... facebook... cough...) and exec/eval statements. If your code ever gets audited by someone competent and they see exec/eval statements in your underlying framework they are going to go postal. 3. SQLAlchemy, libcloud, psychopg, flask, Pyramid, Django, Zope, pygame, scipy, and 99% of the Python world does things as explicitly as possible. They don't do extra imports for you in their controllers or modules, which seems like extra work in the short term. In the long run, you know EXACTLY what is going on in a file - and that counts for so much. 4. JKM's major rant on reddit was that this behavior defined in point #1 above makes Web2py different than the rest of the Python world. And that they are training a breed of new python developers who expect different behavior in code then the rest of us. Call me a fanboy (and employee), but he's right. If you have a problem with Web2py the majority of the people on this list or any python list will be crippled in their ability to help you. On the other hand, any of us can figure out the individual components of flask, sql alchemy and more because it is following the common pattern. So that means while I may not know much about SQLAlchemy, I can figure out what's going on inside.
Re: [web2py] Re: Web2py and Sencha (Extjs)
Extjs and Sencha just seem more complete UI element wise. Their table tools seem very powerful. It is pricey, but for business applications this shouldn't be a problem.
