I've run into a problem, why won't this work:
# controllers/default.py
def search():
return dict(showsearch=objects.Search.show(db))
# controllers/default.py
# modules/objects.py
from gluon import *
request = current.request
class Search(object):
def show(self, db):
search =
db(db.listing.title==request.args(0)).select(db.listing.ALL)
items = []
for person in search:
items.append(DIV(A(person.first_name, _href=URL('listing',
args=person.id))))
return TAG[''](*items)
# modules/objects.py
I'm so confused as to why that won't work, it's returning the error:
AttributeError: type object 'Search' has no attribute 'show'
