Hi,
I am using one of my web2py models outside of web2py, in a script intended
to be run from command line. I am importing the models of web2py (to get
access to my database definitions and other models) using this code-snippet:
def _importWeb2py():
rundir = os.getcwd()
WEB2PY_PATH = rundir + "/../../../MyApp/web2py/"
os.chdir(WEB2PY_PATH)
sys.path.append(WEB2PY_PATH)
from gluon.shell import env
globals().update(env('MyApp', import_models=True))
One of my models defines a container object (shortened to be more easily
readable):
class RawDataPost():
def __init__(self, id, data):
self.id = id
self.data = data
When I try to pickle the container object I get the following error:
pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle <class __restricted__.RawDataPost at
0x9661b6c>: it's not found as __restricted__.RawDataPost
If I move the definition of RawDataPost into the external script, the
pickling works fine (so the object is perfectly picklable).
I would however want to avoid copying / moving the definition of
RawDataPost and use the above import. Any idea what that restricted
buisness means? And can I get around it somehow? Googling left me equally
dumbfounded.
