[web2py] Documenting a file with sphinx, that has local_import in it

[Vasil Petkov]

Hello!

I use web2py 1.94 on Ubuntu with Python 2.7 and Sphinx 1.0.7. For the
documentation purposes, i have created a 'doc'-directory inside my
web2py-application. My web2py project has the following structure:

web2py
   |_ server
   |      |_ applications
   |            |_ init
   |            |     |_ controllers
   |            |           |_ myapp.py
  ...         ...
   |            |_ modules
   |                  |_ xml2obj.py
  ...
   |_ doc

When i try to generate documentation for the myapp.py-file with
sphinx, i get the following warning:

 Traceback (most recent call
last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Sphinx-1.0.7-py2.7.egg/
sphinx/ext/autodoc.py", line 329, in import_object
    __import__(self.modname)
  File "/home/vpetkov/Documents/web2py/server/applications/init/
controllers/myapp.py", line 16, in <module>
    xml2obj = local_import('xml2obj', reload=False)
NameError: name 'local_import' is not defined

autodoc can't import/find module 'myapp', it reported error: "name
'local_import' is not defined", please check your spelling and
sys.path

Additionally. in conf.py Sphinx file, i added
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath('../applications/init/modules/'))
