I have a python deployment script where I update the build info (build
nr., build date), compile the application, pack it and finally upload
it to a server. The script is in a location independent of web2py.
I can compile the application with:
sys.path.append(web2py_dir)
os.chdir(web2py_dir)
import gluon.compileapp
gluon.compileapp.compile_application('applications/myapp')
I don't know if this is the 'right' way but it works. How can I pack
the compiled application now? there is
gluon.admin.app_pack_compiled
but this needs the request object. How can I call it?
another question: the packed application also contains the folders
databases, cache etc. How does this work when the application is
installed on the server? are these folders simply ignored?
thanks,
Alex
