This is a philosophical issue before a technical one. if b-app needs a- app than b-app is not an app because it is not autonomous entity you can pack and distribute individually. If this is the case, b-app should be a controller inside a-app or it should app the data of a-app as a service and not by reading its model files. If this is not the case and you want to allow both a-app and b-app work individually, you should make a copy of the models of a-app that you need into b-app. If they share the same database, make sure that only one of the apps does migrate=True and the other does migrate=False.
Form a technical point of view you can do what you ask in two ways. 1) you can move the define_tables in a function defined in a module (not a model) and from model files in both apps, you import the function and pass database connection (db) to them. 2) you can have one app execfile the model of the other app. Massimo On Apr 3, 8:37 pm, hywang <[email protected]> wrote: > There are 2 applications: a-app and b-app. > > I want to import a model in a-app into b-app, is there a easy and safe > way to do it ? > thank you ! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
