Ooooh, I was assuming "camera on server" (like the Raspberry Pi people do). Having the camera on the client, and having the webpage snap a picture sounds interesting (with appropriate privacy considerations, asking permission first). The CoS situation isn't that different, except the file can be considered to already be uploaded, and you'd be invoking the external app with python tools instead of javascript. /dps > > On Fri, Jan 22, 2016, 11:51 Dave S <[email protected] <javascript:>> > wrote: > >> On Sunday, January 17, 2016 at 9:05:50 AM UTC-8, [email protected] >> wrote: >>> >>> How do I make my web2py app able to use the device hardwares like >>> >>> camera? also how to make it able to use some other apps on the device? >>> >> >> For the camera, you probably want to run an external command by launching >> a process.
