---------------------------------------------------------- web2py provides another way to import modules in such a way that the global sys.path is not altered: by placing them in the "modules" folder of an application. One side benefit is that the module will be automatically copied and distributed with the application; however, there are certain restrictions that apply. web2py provides alocal_import function that must be used to import modules from the "modules" folder. Here is an example of usage: 1. mymodule = local_import <http://web2py.com/book/default/docstring/local_import>('mymodule') The function looks for mymodule in the app local modules folder and imports it with the name on the left-hand side of equal. This function takes three arguments: name, reload and app. --------------------------------------------------------- *but wait! there are updates coming*, now web2py hs gluon.current and custom importer which is better than that old way. <http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#Third-Party-Modules> -- Bruno Rocha [ About me: http://zerp.ly/rochacbruno ] On Thu, May 12, 2011 at 12:10 AM, Jason Brower <[email protected]> wrote: > Looked and looked but I couldn't fine where you place a file with methods > and classes in the modules directory and then you can import them. > Could I see where that is in the book or perhaps some instruction here? > Best Regards, > Jason >
