but i do not want to run this code in the shell but in a controller
controllers/test.py
def test():
'this is a test'
import applications.myapp.controllers.test
return dict(a = dir(applications.myapp.controllers.test))
i have similar problems for other objects like db, request ...
what i want to do in the end is to use the inspect module to create
source code documentation
