Re: [web2py] Re: Debian / Ubuntu packager needed!
Hi Mark, I'm on holiday now until the 13th of April. When I get back I'll continue working on the gluon package. There is not much to document there, it's quite straightforward. If you want to help you could start with developing the setup.py file for the gluon module. You can find the setuptools manual here: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools Regards, Dima.

I'll package the gluon module anyway, there seem to be no problems with it. After that I'll try to write down a small document describing the structure of other web2py related packages.

[web2py] Re: Errors with the new version
I also have some comments on the latest version in repo in auth.login() captcha = self.settings.login_captcha or self.settings.captcha this's had a bad effect for web applications having the login form in the index page This made the captcha appear in that form , the thing that had a bad effect on the style so what I suggest is that you can have something like self.settings.login_captcha_enabled = False ... .. captcha = self.settings.login_captcha or self.settings.captcha if self.settings.login_captcha_enabled else None By doing so, every body is happy * Another thing is that I found in def del_membership(self, group_id, user_id=None): revokes membership from group_id to user_id if user_id==None than user_id is that of current logged in user group_id = group_id or self.id_group(role) -- [role is not defined] Did you mean : def del_membership (self, group_id=None, user_id=None, role=None) ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups web2py-users group.

[web2py] Re: concurrency problem
Thanks for your thoughts. @Yarko the locking code snippet seems useful. In this case, however, my users never updated the same record. The problem was the locking of the complete database each time two users updated or created 'their own' records. @Beerc PostgreSQL did the trick, thanks :) The sqlite docs suggest, however, that it should be possible to have small multi-user applications using sqlite. I mean, a few users reading/writing each 20/30 seconds does not have to be a problem if each request locks the database for x milliseconds. I just incorrectly assumed that handling occasional locks would have been handled somehow by the DAL. Just a thought (don't know if it makes sense): what about implementing a simple sqlite lock handling mechanism into DAL? For example retry to read/write the sqlite database a few times before giving up. Don't know if that's the best approach, but it might have solved my problem (possibly reduce cebergs 5-10% no content problem too) and fascilitate small multi-user projects with web2py+sqlite. I feel a few multi-user writes in 30 seconds should not require me to adopt a full relational database (unnecessary memory footprint for my small project) or writing this lock handling code myself specifically for sqlite (removing some of the advantage for using DAL and sqlite out of the box; one of the reasons to use web2py in the first place). On the other hand installing postgreSQL was easy enough and it's great that I only needed to change 1 line of code in my web2py application :) -Sven -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups web2py-users group.

[web2py] Re: Errors with the new version
There's also another suggestion
The crud.update() forms doesn't display the 'record deleted message'
flash message in case of deleting records
instead it displays 'record updated'
in function update of the Crud class I suggest adding :
if form.accepts(request.post_vars, _session, formname=_formname,
onvalidation=onvalidation,
keepvalues=self.settings.keepvalues):
if form.vars.get('delete_this_record', False):
message = self.messages.record_deleted

[web2py] Unicode characters problem (Dreamhost installation)
Hello, I've deployed the latest version of web2py on Dreamhost using wsgi. I'm using a custom installation of Python 2.5. The web2py installation seems to work fine, but there's one problem. I've created a test program using the qooxdoo web application framework for the GUI part which mimics the functionality in the pyjamas example program: displaying a list of todo items, adding and deleting items. It works fine on my local development machine, it works fine on GAE, but on my Dreamhost installation I'm getting an error when trying to add a task that contains non ascii symbols, for example Russian characters as in задание номер один (task number one). I also have a pyjamas version of the same todo app and it exhibits the same behavior (works fine on GAE, not so on Dreamhost). Here is the message that I get back from the xmlrpc method call to addTask: Exception during async call: UNEXPECTED origin undefined error 100: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-5: ordinal not in range(128) You can see it live here: http://www.phonetizer.com/qooxdoo The pyjamas version is here: http://www.phonetizer.com/pyjamas It is also deployed on GAE and works fine here: http://web2pyapp.appspot.com/qooxdoo I also have a much older version of web2py deployed on Dreamhost. Unlike the new version it uses fastcgi and works as expected. Do you have any ideas as to why the newer version is misbehaving?

This (data concurrency / data safety of a database server) belongs with the db, not with the applicaition using it. IF the application using a db implements this, then db becomes (effectively) part of the applicaiton. About sqlite: why insist using it? It is _intentionally_ a light- weight db, used most significantly in embedded contexts (i.e. your cell phone configuration most likely uses sqlite - no multi-user model needed / wanted). TWO questions: have you tried an executesql to send SQLITE CONFIG SERIALIZED? I would try this first _if_ you really have some pertinent, significant situation preventing use of a different database engine. Second: please consider solving your problem by using a full-feature db, such as postgres. This is really the path that (to my eyes) makes the most sense. - Yarko Just a thought (don't know if it makes sense): what about implementing a simple sqlite lock handling mechanism into DAL?

[web2py] args problem in 1.76.5
After upgrading to web2py version 1.76.5 one of the functions I
defined no longer works.
I defined a table newsmonth:
db.define_table('newsmonth',
db.Field('number',type='integer',length=2,default='',notnull=True),
db.Field('month',length=14,default='',notnull=True,unique=True),
db.Field('publish',type='boolean'),
migrate=False)
... which I use to display archived news items per month. Number is
the number of the month e.g April 4. Month is a string, for April it
reads like: April 2010. Publish defaults to false and is set to true
on the 1st of the next month.
In the view I have a list with links:
March 2010
february 2010
january 2010
When the visitor clicks March 2010, the news table is queried:
def archive():
months=db(db.newsmonth.publish==True).select(db.newsmonth.ALL,orderby=~db.newsmonth.id)
news=[]
month=[]
if request.args:
news=db(db.news.publishing_date.month()==request.args[0])\
.select(db.news.ALL,orderby=~db.news.publishing_date)
month=request.args[1]
if not news:
response.flash='Select an archived month'
else:
response.flash='Select an archived month'
return dict(months=months,news=news,month=month)
month is set to request.args[1], i.e March 2010, and returned to the
view:
div id=twoColLayout
div id=primarycontent

When I expose the archive function, the view displays well. The URL
reads like: http://127.0.0.1:8000/init/news/archive
However, when I click one of the archived months links I get an
invalid request error.
The link in the view reads like: a href=init/news/archive/3/March
%202010March 2010/a
... the URL in the browser reads like:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/init/news/archive/3/maart%202010
Since the function works without args, I suppose the error has
something to do with the args, the porblem is I can't figure out what.
Kind regards,
Annet.

[web2py] cx_Oracle segfaults
Hello, I have been using web2py with oracle since few months now. With small loads everything works fine, but when the load grows, often the python process gets killed with a segfault; after few headaches to understand what was going on, I think I spotted the problem and tried a solution that works for me. It seems the cx_Oracle libs when used in threaded programs (such as the web2py server) needs to handle some locking, as suggested in the cx_Oracle documentation found at http://cx-oracle.sourceforge.net/html/module.html [...] The threaded argument is expected to be a boolean expression which indicates whether or not Oracle should use the mode OCI_THREADED to wrap accesses to connections with a mutex. Doing so in single threaded applications imposes a performance penalty of about 10-15% which is why the default is False. [...] I am not 100% sure this was the problem as I couldnt find a reasonable way to prove it; however, since when I applied the following patch (thats the only change I've made) I havent had crashes anymore. So this is the simple patch I used and I propose --- sql.py 2010-04-04 18:18:26.0 +0200 +++ sql_orig.py 2010-04-04 18:17:38.0 +0200 @@ -964,7 +964,7 @@ elif self._uri[:9] == 'oracle://': self._dbname = 'oracle' self._pool_connection(lambda : \ - cx_Oracle.connect(self._uri[9:],threaded=True)) + cx_Oracle.connect(self._uri[9:])) self._cursor = self._connection.cursor() self._execute = lambda a: \ oracle_fix_execute(a,self._cursor.execute) I'd like someone else to confirm this, and I really hope this can help.

[web2py] Re: args problem in 1.76.5
The problem is that web2py does not like spaces '%20' in url and
replaces them with underscore.

The link in the view reads like: a href=init/news/archive/3/March

Since the function works without args, I suppose the error has
something to do with the args, the porblem is I can't figure out what.

Hello,
I've deployed the latest version of web2py on Dreamhost using wsgi.
I'm using a custom installation of Python 2.5.
The web2py installation seems to work fine, but there's one problem.
I've created a test program using the qooxdoo web application
framework for the GUI part which mimics the functionality in the
pyjamas example program: displaying a list of todo items, adding and
deleting items.
It works fine on my local development machine, it works fine on GAE,
but on my Dreamhost installation I'm getting an error when trying to
add a task that contains non ascii symbols, for example Russian
characters as in задание номер один (task number one).
I also have a pyjamas version of the same todo app and it exhibits the
same behavior (works fine on GAE, not so on Dreamhost).
Here is the message that I get back from the xmlrpc method call to addTask:
Exception during async call: UNEXPECTED origin undefined error 100:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position
0-5: ordinal not in range(128)
You can see it live here:
http://www.phonetizer.com/qooxdoo
The pyjamas version is here:
http://www.phonetizer.com/pyjamas
It is also deployed on GAE and works fine here:
http://web2pyapp.appspot.com/qooxdoo
I also have a much older version of web2py deployed on Dreamhost.
Unlike the new version it uses fastcgi and works as expected.
Do you have any ideas as to why the newer version is misbehaving?
Thanks.

It should be noted that there was some work done towards enabling an

This would allow any character set in args which I believe mainly
concerns non-English speaking developers/users.

[web2py] Re: webserver slow, misreported
You are both right that I do not know where the slowness is coming
from. My goal is to measure it so that I can narrow in on the
problem. So far I know that it is external to web2py because it does
not show up in httpserver.log, so my reasoning is to look at rocket
which wraps the web2py part.

The raw args feature is available in the current release. Specify it for a
particular app in routes.py, and request.raw_args will have the unprocessed
args. %20 will be converted to space.
URL rewriting is still somewhat broken, especially when a ? is involved. I've
got a plan to address that too, but I haven't had a lot of time to put in on it.

When I expose the archive function, the view displays well. The URL
reads like:http://127.0.0.1:8000/init/news/archive
However, when I click one of the archived months links I get an
invalid request error.
The link in the view reads like: a href=init/news/archive/3/March
%202010March 2010/a
... the URL in the browser reads
like:http://127.0.0.1:8000/init/news/archive/3/March%202010
Since the function works without args, I suppose the error has
something to do with the args, the porblem is I can't figure out what.
Kind regards,
Annet.

[web2py] Re: webserver slow, misreported
Let us know if you discover anything or if we can help with tests.
Can anybody else reproduce this problem?

You are both right that I do not know where the slowness is coming

which wraps the web2py part.

However, doing so would help cover all your bases.
If you want to use the http log from Rocket you can do this. I'm
assuming you invoke web2py.py from a bash script or just run it
manually. Paste the following code into the top of web2py.py
import logging
import logging.handlers
log = logging.getLogger('Rocket.Requests')
log.setLevel(logging.INFO)
log.addHandler(logging.handlers.FileHandler('rocket.log')
I, like Yarko, do think this has more to do with something else. At one
point web2py had a profiler built-in. That could be a good tool for
finding slow spots.

mturk doesn't affect anything, I am just serving webpages that appear

Do you have a method of logging how much time it takes to serve a page
with rocket? Something that I can use instead of httpserver.log? It
seems important for me to measure real-world performance, which ab
does not do.
My server has 768MB ram, and the only thing it does is run this web2py
server. I assumed ram was not full, but did not check. I will check
next time.

Re: [web2py] Re: Unicode characters problem (Dreamhost installation)
I got it from web2py.com. I'm sure that I've now installed web2py 1.76.5.
The strange thing is an older version that used to work fine before I
installed 1.76.5 is now giving me the same error message as the 1.76.5

Hello,
I've deployed the latest version of web2py on Dreamhost using wsgi.
I'm using a custom installation of Python 2.5.
The web2py installation seems to work fine, but there's one problem.
I've created a test program using the qooxdoo web application
framework for the GUI part which mimics the functionality in the
pyjamas example program: displaying a list of todo items, adding and
deleting items.
It works fine on my local development machine, it works fine on GAE,
but on my Dreamhost installation I'm getting an error when trying to
add a task that contains non ascii symbols, for example Russian
characters as in задание номер один (task number one).
I also have a pyjamas version of the same todo app and it exhibits the
same behavior (works fine on GAE, not so on Dreamhost).
Here is the message that I get back from the xmlrpc method call to
addTask:
Exception during async call: UNEXPECTED origin undefined error 100:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position
0-5: ordinal not in range(128)
You can see it live here:
http://www.phonetizer.com/qooxdoo
The pyjamas version is here:
http://www.phonetizer.com/pyjamas
It is also deployed on GAE and works fine here:
http://web2pyapp.appspot.com/qooxdoo
I also have a much older version of web2py deployed on Dreamhost.
Unlike the new version it uses fastcgi and works as expected.
Do you have any ideas as to why the newer version is misbehaving?
Thanks.

[web2py] Re: webserver slow, misreported
I started using apache with mod_wsgi, and now it's fast! So this
indicates it's a problem that only occurs when using rocket or
cherrypy, but again I'm only measuring it with firebug in my browser.
I have 768MB of ram, ~500MB free. I use cron for @reboot only.
I only run it on a remote machine (on slicehost VPS). I do not think
it is network problems because it is fast in my web browser until I
get hit by a bunch of users. Of course I'd like to eliminate the
network from my measurements, but for that I need webserver processing-
time logs.

Some more questions:
how much ram?
can you check memory usage? A memory leak may cause slowness.
are you using cron? when cron starts it may spike memory usage.
are you experience the slowness from localhost or from remote
machines?

You are both right that I do not know where the slowness is coming
from. My goal is to measure it so that I can narrow in on the
problem. So far I know that it is external to web2py because it does
not show up in httpserver.log, so my reasoning is to look at rocket
which wraps the web2py part.

I see, thank you. I want to measure the web server's response time
when I deploy this on turk... Unfortunately the rocket log does not
report time to serve a request. Do you think it is easy to get that
information from rocket? Do you store the start and stop times for
each request? I see start times stored in connections, but I'm not
sure that's the right object.

I don't think upgrading will help much since Cherrypy was also slow.
However, doing so would help cover all your bases.
If you want to use the http log from Rocket you can do this. I'm
assuming you invoke web2py.py from a bash script or just run it
manually. Paste the following code into the top of web2py.py
import logging
import logging.handlers
log = logging.getLogger('Rocket.Requests')
log.setLevel(logging.INFO)
log.addHandler(logging.handlers.FileHandler('rocket.log')
I, like Yarko, do think this has more to do with something else. At one
point web2py had a profiler built-in. That could be a good tool for
finding slow spots.

Yes, this is on linux! Do you recommend upgrading and trying again?
mturk doesn't affect anything, I am just serving webpages that appear
in iframes on the mturk website. From our perspective, I'm serving
webpages.
Do you have a method of logging how much time it takes to serve a page
with rocket? Something that I can use instead of httpserver.log? It
seems important for me to measure real-world performance, which ab
does not do.
My server has 768MB ram, and the only thing it does is run this web2py
server. I assumed ram was not full, but did not check. I will check
next time.

[web2py] Re: concurrency problem
Yarko, you suggest using a full-featured db instead of sqlite. But sqlite's internal reader/writer lock is one thing, the overwrite problem is another. No matter what kind of db we are using, we still need to deal with the overwrite problem. Scenario: 9:00am clerk Adam read the balance of a client's account, it is $100 9:01am clerk Bob read the balance of same client, it is $100 9:02am clerk Adam plans to deduct $10 from the account, and updating the new balance as $90 9:03am NOT knowing what Adam had done, Bob plans to deduct $20 from the account, and updating the new balance as $80 There is no physical concurrency here. But we need some measure to refuse Bob's last attempt. There is this kind of measures, such as optimistic lock mechanism in the app level. What I want to discuss is that, do we need implement optimistic lock in our every web2py app, or can/need we do something in DAL level, such as PyDbLite did by the __version field, to benefit all web2py app? Ideas? Thanks. iceberg On Apr3, 8:18pm, Iceberg iceb...@21cn.com wrote: Yarko, you also raise a very good point.

[web2py] Re: concurrency problem
This is a good point. I do not think this should be dealt with at the DB level because, if I understand it is an app workflow problem. If I understand For every user there are two HTTP requests (one to generate the update form, one to submit the form) and each is executed in its own transaction. So the only problem is when the data changes in DB for the record in question in between the two requests. This cannot be solved at the DB level because you do not want to lock the record in one request and unlock in the second request since the second may never arrive (user reload page, click back button, connection is dropped, etc.). This much be resolved by an explicit check that the record content in between requests has not changed. I have once posted an example of how to do it with web2py but now I cannot find it. Anyway, this can be done easily at the app level by adding a timestamp to the record and checking onvalidation that the record timestamp did not change in between the two requests. This should not be default web2py behaviors since the check depends on the model and, moreover, it may be slow and un-necessary in the general case. Like we have onaccept=crud.archive, we could have a onvalidate=curd.unmodified to provide a standard API to perform this check. I will put it in my todo list.
