[web2py] Re: Why input field in form.vars is stripped of trailing spaces?

[Andriy]

I completely agree. It would be better if this will be fixed. I never 
noticed this behavior until I`ve got to the case where I need to keep white 
spaces in front and at the back of the input field.

[web2py] Re: Python Social Auth - example site working with downlevel version of PSA

[Joe Barnhart]

Hi Don --

Just getting around to playing with this and having fun...  Being a novice 
at python social-auth-core as well as your code, setting it up is slow 
going.

Is your Git repo just an example of how to add this, or is this a w2p 
plugin of sorts?  My intent is to add the minimum needed to my own site to 
get social auth working, or course.

Anyway, happy to get any tips you may share.  I think I've gotten 
social-auth-core loaded on my mac so it should all be clear sailing now... 
heh heh...

-- Joe

Re: [web2py] Re: japronto

[Richard Vézina]

If you want easy performance improvement (easy is relative here) you can
try to use pypy interpreter or ironpython, ironpython don't have GIL, pypy
suppose to execute 5x faster the same python code (http://speed.pypy.org/)...
Other interpreters :
http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/which-python/

The problem that happen often is that dependencies are not pypy
"compliant".

But depending of the app you have wrote (if few dependency) it may be a
proper path for you...

Good luck

The default validator for a "string" field is IS_EMPTY_OR(IS_LENGTH(...)), 
and the IS_EMPTY_OR validator also strips the whitespace.

Re: {Disarmed} [web2py] Re: Once again stuck with a calculation

[Greenpoise]

Perhaps its not the frameworks fault, perhaps the term MVC should not be 
applicable to all the frameworks or in this case to the flexibility of 
web2py?  In any case it is certainly very interesting. I for one cant see 
all the code being ran down in the view specially if there is going to be 
some sort of visual customization. It just forms all sorts of clutter.

Thanks for the input guys

[web2py] Re: info: interesting hack, sort in IS_IN_DB lists with regard to current locale

[Anthony]

Does IS_IN_DB(sort=True) not do what you want? If not, it might be a bit 
simpler to instead override the options() method of IS_IN_DB and just 
provide an alternative function in place of options_sorter() (or, if you 
want an alternative options_sorter in all cases, you could just monkey 
patch it in gluon.validators).

[web2py] info: interesting hack, sort in IS_IN_DB lists with regard to current locale

[Mirek Zvolský]

... or to any other special order.

For me was creazy that I was not able to sort items (names) in IS_IN_DB 
lists alphabetically.
IS_IN_DB has lot of undocumented questions but I think nothing can help.

Of course when running from Postgres, you will receive records with proper 
locale order.
However with SQLite you need (maybe) a hacked and special compiled SQLite 
to have correct order.
Otherwise you start with uppercase ascii, then follow lowercase ascii, and 
at the end are accented (non-ascii) characters. Crazy.

Now I use this hack in my model:

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'cs_CZ.UTF-8')


class IS_IN_DB_(IS_IN_DB):
def build_set(self):
super(IS_IN_DB_, self).build_set()
records = [(lbl, self.theset[pos]) for pos, lbl in enumerate(self.
labels)]
records.sort(key=lambda x: locale.strxfrm(x[0]))
self.labels = [rec[0] for rec in records]
self.theset = [rec[1] for rec in records]


db.define_table('payment',
Field('idauth_user', 'reference auth_user', requires=IS_EMPTY_OR(
IS_IN_DB_(db, db.auth_user.id, '%(nick)s'))),
...)



Not optimal, but works !

Also, if you set notnull after the table was initially created, I don't

Should probably be

ret = self.table.insert(**fields) or False

as we want ret (and self.accepted) to end up a boolean rather than 0.

Thanks, Anthony. lambda that you posted works like you described, I`ll use

But if I remove* requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY* validator completely, the 
form.vars still returns name without spaces. Does it apply some validtion 
without it by default and removing spaces?

[web2py] Re: table._before_insert.append() wrong behaviour?

[Leonel Câmara]

Humm this may actually be considered a SQLFORM bug. Since it just puts 
whatever the insert returns in self.vars.id and never checks if it is 
actually an id or zero, zero actually means it failed because of a 
before_insert such as yours.

The bug is here:
https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/gluon/sqlhtml.py#L1857

It should be:

ret = self.table.insert(**fields)

if ret:
self.vars.id = ret

[web2py] Re: Why input field in form.vars is stripped of trailing spaces?

[Anthony]

It is actually the IS_NOT_EMPTY validator that strips the whitespace (it 
does this so a string containing only spaces will be considered empty). You 
can either create your own custom validator, or do something like:

requires=lambda v: (v, IS_NOT_EMPTY()(v)[1])

The above returns the original value along with the error message (if any) 
from IS_NOT_EMPTY.

Do you have NOTNULL=True or notnull=True? Only the latter will work.

[Ron Chatterjee]

Thank you for explaining Richard. That's very nice of you. May be we can 
have a module that makes some of web2py code executable for faster 
processing. Something for someone to look at may be.

[web2py] Why input field in form.vars is stripped of trailing spaces?

[Andriy]

fields = [ Field('name', 'string', default=defaults['name'], 
requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY(error_message='Enter name')]), ]
form = SQLFORM.factory(*fields, _class="uk-form uk-form-horizontal", 
_name="edit_form")
if form.process(hideerror=True).accepted:
print (form.vars.name, request.vars.name)

If I enter "Bob " (with trailing space in input field) I get printed:
('Bob', 'Bob ')

form.vars.name looses trailing space and I didn`t ask for this. 
request.vars.name is correct. 

I do *form.vars.name = request.vars.name* later in my code to counter this. 
I need all spaces preserved as they are entered. I didn`t find any 
explanation for this in the help/book.

I don't see the problem. Appadmin only checks that the insert form is 
accepted which it is.

[web2py] table._before_insert.append() wrong behaviour?

[Marvix]

Hello,
I tried this:

db.define_table('tablename', )
db.tablename._before_insert.append(lambda r : True )

this is supposed to never insert a record.
Infact no record is added, but using, for example, the relative appadmin 
form and submitting some values I get the notification "new record 
inserted", when it isn't.

This is obviously not the right behaviour.
web2py version 2.14.6

[web2py] reference_field_value = None

[Pierre]

Hello everyone,

I noticed by accident  i can insert a record with 
reference_field_value=None. Is this the desired behavior ? I thought this 
would trigger an exception especially when NOTNULL=True but None is not 
considered NULL ?
