Thanks for the link. My actual problem is more complicated than the
example I gave. I realize that I need to link a field to a table that
isn't initiated yet (item2):
objects = ['substance', 'process', 'condition', 'locus']
linksubobjects = ['locus', 'before', 'after']
unlinksubobjects = ['name', 'main_name']
for object in objects:
for item1 in linksubobjects+unlinksubobjects:
for item2 in objects:
fields=[Field(item1, 'reference item2')]
db.define_table(object,*fields)
I suppose the solution would be to initiate the table names and then
add the fields either in db.py, or in the controller file. But I have
no idea how to do this.
