I'm trying to take advantage of Python's introspection capabilities to find
out what certain objects can do. I'm not getting very far though. Here's
what I've discovered so far about db.define_table and db itself:
In[14]: import pydoc
Out[14]:
In[15]: pydoc.help(db.define_table)
Out[15]: Help on method define_table in module gluon.sql:
define_table(self, tablename, *fields, **args) method of gluon.sql.SQLDB
instance
In[16]: help = pydoc.help
Out[16]:
In[17]: help(db)
Out[17]: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
File "pydoc.pyc", line 1645, in __call__
File "pydoc.pyc", line 1689, in help
File "pydoc.pyc", line 1464, in doc
File "pydoc.pyc", line 1459, in resolve
File "gluon/sql.py", line 1271, in __getattr__
KeyError: '__name__'
This is from a through-the-web Python prompt. Is there some better way to
go about this? I do see this:
http://localhost:8000/examples/static/epydoc/index.html
but that's a little bit indirect. (I see that help(type(db)) works where
help(db) fails.) Maybe I'm on the right track but just stumbled upon a
pydoc bug?
