Here is a variation of something I use in Jupyter notebook:
import os
import gluon.shell
from gluon.settings import global_settings
from gluon.storage import Storage
def web2py_environment(app, controller=None, web2py_path=os.getcwd()):
# Update global_settings.
global_settings.gluon_parent = global_settings.applications_parent =
web2py_path
global_settings.cmd_options = Storage(shell=True) # for code that tests
for shell
with open(os.path.join(web2py_path, 'VERSION'), 'rb') as version_info:
global_settings.web2py_version = version_info.read().split()[-1].
strip()
# Create the web2py environment.
environment = gluon.shell.env(app, import_models=True, c=controller,
dir=os.path.join(web2py_path, 'applications', app))
folder = environment['request'].folder
if controller:
pyfile = os.path.join(folder, 'controllers', controller + '.py')
if os.path.isfile(pyfile):
execfile(pyfile, environment)
globals().update(**environment)
In your shell, import the above function and call:
web2py_environment('yourapp', 'yourcontroller')
Note, if the web2py folder is not the current working directory, you will
need to explicity specify the web2py path (though you could certainly hard
code that for your system rather than specifying it explicitly in the call).
