Massimo and Mariano are developing a conditional model_map, so you will be able to choose which model files to run for each requested controller, it will be a very good add to web2py.
Maybe it will be included only in web2py 2.0. I still think we need a model-less approach using modules, and it needs to be documented, but appadmin was not designed to wotk with that, so it is better to have it as a plugin (a new appadmin) Even with the new model map I will still use the modules approach because it has some advantages, it looks more like Python, it works well with my code editor auto conplete and linter without hacks, and it is more reusable in terms of Object Oriented programming. BTW I am not using appadmin for database. I am replacing it with a simple plugin called badmin. wait web2py 2.0 to see the new model mapping feature. http://zerp.ly/rochacbruno Em 27/02/2012 05:18, "Johann Spies" <[email protected]> escreveu: > The thread in this mailing list with the subject "*model less apps (a > blog example)" *and some other remarks about using model-less > applications for better speed and memory usage is the background of this > email.
