Re: [web2py] Re: Unit testing in web2py : Some thoughts

[Nicol van der Merwe]

Hi guys

This stuff is very interesting. I would like to request, if possible, that
someone makes a web2pyslice or proper AlterEgo entry on how to setup and run
these kinds of tests for web2py. I am very interested in setting up tests
for my application but I'm a bit lost as I've never done so before (plus I'm
unfortunately just too busy to research all this and make my own slice).

It would be very much appreciated if this can be done :)

Re: [web2py] Re: Download and Update Progress +a general question

[Tiago Almeida]

Sorry for the misunderstanding. When I said it was horrible I meant that
redirecting stdout is not a very elegant solution, but works.
Don't know how you could do what you need, showing the progress of the
script.

[web2py] Re: mail plain text message wrong charset

[szimszon]

I tested it again,

I created a new scaffolding app with the admin interface then I
changed:
db.py:
mail=Mail()  # mailer
mail.settings.server='localhost:25'# your SMTP server
mail.settings.sender='pr...@localhost' # your email

default.py (controller)
def index():
"""
example action using the internationalization operator T and flash
rendered by views/default/index.html or views/generic.html
"""
response.flash = T('mailtest')
context=dict(name="Gipsz Jakab",
 addr="Szt. Erzsébet körút")
message=response.render('emailbody.txt', context)
mail.send(to="szimszon",
  subject="test email",
  message=message)

return dict(message=T('Mail sent'))

made an emailbody.txt in views:

RE: [web2py] Multiple Select Widget

[Michael Howden]

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

You mean:

|  |  |

?

 

You just mean for the countries selected?

And I could hide the actual check box itself? Would that be enough to ensure
the values are saved with the form? 

 

I tried to use a text box instead, but it just proved more difficult! I
think I may just stick with the multiple widget - if it ain't broke, don't
fix it!

Subject: Re: [web2py] Multiple Select Widget

 

Is there a better way to do this type of functionality rather than
using a hidden multiple widget?


Why not make a simple table/list of checkboxes next to each country?

Hey,

I have a need to allow the user to select multiple countries for a
single record (in this case the record is a project - which could be
occurring in a number of different countries).

I've developed a widget which allows the user to select a country from
a drop down, then click a button which uses JS to add it to a table
within the widget and also selecting it on a hidden web2py multiple
widget. The hidden multiple widget ensures that the values are saved
with the form.
Similarly, there is a "x" next to each country which has been selected
and is displayed on the table, which will run some JS to remove it
from the table, and de-select it on the hidden widget.

This code is working, but I have a few questions:

* Is it fine to presume that all users will be able to use JS on their
browsers?
* Is there a better way to do this type of functionality rather than
using a hidden multiple widget? Could the selected countries be read
directly from the table? Would it be more efficient to use a hidden
string widget? Where is the code which gets the values from the table
and saves them to the DB?
* Is there any dangers/issues/considerations in using a field with
multiple = True, rather than using a linking table for many to many
relationships? Or even using a field with multiple = True for a one to
many relationship?

Please let me know if it would simplify matters (or somehow
contribute) if I shared my code (web2pyslice?).

Cheers

Michael

[web2py] Re: Download and Update Progress +a general question

[mdipierro]

redirecting stdout does not work unless you have a global locker that
locks web2py while you do the redirect.
Otherwise if two threads (two requests) do it at the same time you get
wrong output and you may completely loose stdout.

Because   encoding="utf-8" is default. You have to figure
out what is the encoding you need.

[web2py] Re: Some interrogations concerning Web2py compatibilities

[Magnitus]

Thanks for the heads up.

I did run web2py.py directly and while it works, I got the following
warning:

WARNING:root:no file locking

It seems to work otherwise, but I'd still like some clarification on
the warning if anybody knows.

Parallel to this, I found a py2exe to make a 64 bit binary at
(downloaded the one for python 2.6 as its the version of python that I
use): http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/files/

When I tried running "python setup_exe.py py2exe", I got the following
error during installation:

*** copy data files ***
warning: install_data: setup script did not provide a directory for
'admin.w2p'
-- installing right in 'D:\web2py\dist'
error: can't copy 'admin.w2p': doesn't exist or not a regular file

>>python web2py.py


Because you can do so, I believe you can package it in a binary form
using
tools like py2exe.

[web2py] SQLFORM displays "text" values with text, not textareas

[mdmcginn]

Section 7.2 of the book says, "A SQLFORM displays "boolean" values
with checkboxes, "text" values with textareas," etc. But instead, it
apparently displays "text" values with text. Others have asked how to
make them display as textareas - as larger input fields. Sure, I could
use FORM instead of SQLFORM to do it, but is the book wrong? (I
thought this might be a bug/question not an edit, so I didn't sign up
as an editor to report this.)

what os are you using. This should work o Posix and win32.

About your other issue.

py2exe and py2app have a bug and I am about to rewrite them. Will do
it soon.

[web2py] Re: SQLFORM displays "text" values with text, not textareas

[mdipierro]

I am not sure I understand your question. The book is correct 'text'
is rendered by a textarea. Here is an example:

$ python web2py.py -S welcome -M
>>> print SQLFORM.factory(Field('test','text'))
Test: 

same with formal SQLFORM, crud.create and crud.update.

Do you get a different output?

Massimo

Re: [web2py] Re: Some interrogations concerning Web2py compatibilities

[Tiago Almeida]

For the root no file locking, try:

Install "Python for windows
extensions>"
(If you're using windows)

I had a similar issue and documented here
in
the past and it solved my problem. Don't know why though.

[web2py] newly created app fails in shell mode in 1.75.4

[DenesL]

Using 1.75.4, a newly created app fails to start in shell mode (-M -N -
S) with:

This did not happen in 1.75.1 AFAIK.

[web2py] Re: Some interrogations concerning Web2py compatibilities

[Magnitus]

>what os are you using. This should work o Posix and win32.

Windows Vista, 64-bit.

I got the 64-bit download for the windows extension at the link that
Tiago mentioned and it 'fixed' the warning message (though I'm still
puzzled at why a special windows extension was needed on top of the
release to 'fix' python, perhaps they should include it the release...
some doc came with the open source version, guess I'll have to read it
and find out what the add-on fixes).

Thanks for all the help :).

Yeap, spiffytech where you able to run tests (no doctests) using the

I'm going to write up a nice, clear wiki article on unit testing with
the unittest module based on what I learned in this discussion. I'll
be sure to link to it here when it's done.

[web2py] Re: Unit testing in web2py : Some thoughts

[spiffytech]

execfile() did the trick! Things are working nicely now.

Using a test database would be very helpful. How do you recommend
setting one up? Do I need to copy/paste the table/field definitions
from the 'db' object, or is there a way to make a copy of the 'db'
object and point it to a different SQLite file?

[web2py] Re: Plugin system status

[mr.freeze]

A simple approach would be to adopt the naming convention
'plugin_object' for any objects the developer wants to expose to the
plugin system then just create global labels:

>>>class Plugins(object):
>>>def __init__(self,globals,**kargs):
>>>for k,v in kargs.items():
>>>globals['plugin_'+k] = v

>>> db = DAL('...') #this is my mission critical data
>>> db2 = DAL('...') #this is for my plugins to use
>>> plugins = Plugins(globals(),db=db2,auth=auth,crud=crud)

This would expose to the plugin developer:
plugin_db,plugin_auth,plugin_crud

This way app developers could control which objects are exposed to the
plugin system and plugin developers could set requirement for their
plugins.  This shouldn't break existing plugins either.

[web2py] zen html

[selecta]

Sometimes you still have to write html in web2py which is annoying. It
might not be new to all of you but I just discovered zen html that
really speeds up the process.
In my example i customized the zen key to ctrl + z

What it does:

type
div.box
and you get

with you cursor in the middle of the divs ready to type :)

even better
table>tr*3>td
and you get












there are plugins for vim, emacs, textmate ...I love it, you might
too, check it out

here is a vid showing zen html
http://vimeo.com/7405114

and here the project
http://code.google.com/p/zen-coding/

I use http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2981
just dropped the plugin into .vim/ftplugin/html/ and edited the
shortcut to something convenient
:)

Re: [web2py] Re: web2py with Cherokee via uWSGI: a simple, easy guide

[Thadeus Burgess]

Can I have cherokee uwsgi and apache mod_wsgi running on the same
web2py code base or should I make a copy so cherokee can execute it ?

You are right I could run cherokee on a non-standard port for testing
and always switch it over when I am happy with it!

[web2py] Re: How to deploy my first app

[Al]

Brian,

Finally I found the mistake which causes all this trouble in accessing
the non-admin pages, I had the following line in the default.py in
myapp:
return dict(form=form, images=images, admin = admin)

Re: [web2py] Re: mail plain text message wrong charset

[Thadeus Burgess]

There might be an issue that web2py is encoding the email correctly,
however your SMTP server is re-coding this into its own encoding.

I use Google Apps to send all of my emails with my web2py instances. I
just checked some of the messages received and they are all encoded
"us-ascii".

Further investigation using a SMTP server that we manage ourselves
with (mt), all emails sent from this server are encoded utf-8.

This must not be a web2py issue but SMTP issue.  Google and the like
decide to recode all of their messages, and there might not be
anything that can be done about it besides using your own SMTP server.

[web2py] Re: How to deploy my first app

[Al]

Brian,

Finally I found the mistakes which causes all the troubles of
accessing the non-admin pages:

return dict(form=form, images=images, admin = admin)

I have the above line in the default.py controller, that why it keeps
asking for admin authentication even I tried to navigate the default
home page of myapp.

As for the Mac, what you mentioned was correct, I installed the
stunnel 4.27_0 package using macports, but the executables are in the /
opt/local/bin are called stunnel and stunnel3. Haven't got time to
solve this yet...

Cheers
Al

Re: [web2py] Re: Unit testing in web2py : Some thoughts

[Thadeus Burgess]

So the easiest way to use a testing db and your existing tables is to
automatically recreate them.

So assuming you are in the web2py environment and have access to ``db``

>>> test_db = DAL('testing.sqlite')

>>> for tablename in db.tables:
>>>   table_copy = [copy.copy(f) for f in db[tablename]]
>>>   test_db.define_table(tablename, *table_copy)

This will create a new testing sqlite database. Then it will go
through all tables defined in db, then copy their fields to a list,
then it will define a new table in the sqlite with the copied fields.

Now any functions that you might want to unit test might rely on your
``db`` object, which could be an issue depending on how you have your
code structured.

Strange, huh?.
It happens on both WinXP and 2003 server.

And just clicking on 'database administration' in app's admin fixes
it.

Re: [web2py] Re: Plugin system status

[Thadeus Burgess]

I can't stress enough. web2py plugins should be geared towards
developers, not end-users. (Someone who runs their own wordpress blog
would be an end-user of wordpress).

Plugins should be there to provide a standard for common functionality
so that everyone who comes along to web2py does not have to re-invent
the wheel. But still be flexible enough to suite 95% of developer
needs.

This means that plugins should be easy to insert into the system, but
because they need to be flexible, they will require programming to
make work.

I do not like the current plugin implementation because it does litter
web2py folders, plugins should be self contained, and you shouldn't
*have* to rely on "applications/admin" to install them for you. It is
just one of those nuances.

In every plugin system I have been researching, there is always a
"plugins" folder that the system auto-discovers what is in it, and
then activates them. This would make it easier to package and
distribute the plugins.

Though I have never seen a plugin system for a web framework, only for
applications that are devoted to one subject (wordpress, mephisto,
redmine, trac, etc). I guess django calls them "installed_apps" and
"middleware_classes".

But even with django "installed_apps"(plugins) they define their own
views, all you have to do is specify which view to render in your
functions... I suppose.

What are you trying to accomplish with plugins?

Re: [web2py] Re: newly created app fails in shell mode in 1.75.4

[Thadeus Burgess]

thats odd.

Yeah It seems like the shell doesn't have "create" access but it does
have "write" access. And web2py has both "create and write" access.

[web2py] Re: Unit testing in web2py : Some thoughts

[spiffytech]

Works great! I added an "import copy" in db.py, and added a line in my
unit test to rename "test_db" to "db" so that functions in the test
script will use the test DB.

For posterity, here is a complete working example of unit tests with
web2py, with access to the database, using test database. The wiki
article I create will explain each piece and why it's needed.

== To run the unit tests, type this on the command line: ==
python web2py.py -S api -M -R applications/api/controllers/test.py  #
Fill in your own values for the test file and controller name


== applications/api/controllers/test.py ==
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import unittest

from gluon.globals import Request  # So we can reset the request for
each test

sys.arvg = sys.argv[5:]  # web2py.py passes the whole command line to
this script

db = test_db  # Rename the test database so that functions will use it
instead of the real database
execfile("applications/api/controllers/10.py", globals())  # Brings
the controller's functions into this script's scope

class TestListActiveGames(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
request = Request()  # Use a clean request

def testListActiveGames(self):
# Set variables for the test function
request.post_vars["game_id"] = 1
request.post_vars["username"] = "spiffytech"

# Call a function from the controller "10.py" and print the
dictionary it returns
resp = list_active_games()
print resp
self.assertEquals(0, len(resp["games"]))

# Manually specify tests to run; the web2py environment breaks
unittest.main()
# Taken from here: 
http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2005/01/python-unit-testing-part-1-unittest.html
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
suite.addTest(unittest.makeSuite(TestListActiveGames))
unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite)

db(db.game.id>0).delete()  # Empty out the test database so it's fresh
for next time
==

== Added to the bottom of applications/api/models/db.py ==
# Create a test database that's laid out just like the "real" database
import copy
test_db = DAL('sqlite://testing.sqlite')  # DB name and location
for tablename in db.tables:  # Copy tables!
table_copy = [copy.copy(f) for f in db[tablename]]
test_db.define_table(tablename, *table_copy)

[web2py] Re: Unit testing in web2py : Some thoughts

[spiffytech]

Last question: Is there any value in having web2py.py pass scripts the
full command line (sys.argv)? If not, would you be open to a patch to
gluon/shell.py so that it only passes the script's filename and any
CLI variables shell.py didn't use? I'd also appreciate suggestions on
how to do that more reliably than sys.argv[5:].

[web2py] Cuestion about jzip and jpg image?

[drayco]

Hi, web2py users,
I have a application with 6 web services with json in web2py.
I answer topological information every minute.
And my partners told me that the size of the answer is too large. They
told me that we need to use jzip.
The new requirements is that I need to give a jpg image too.

But I am a newbie in web application.

Can any of you give me a litle example with jzip?

And How can I put a jpg image in a web service?

Thank's in advance.

Re: [web2py] Re: Toggle on/off editarea on startup

[Thadeus Burgess]

So this patch allows you to disable EditArea javascript, this way you
can use Its All Text with the actual html textarea?

Is there a way to make it so that you have GUI access to this instead
of having to edit admin. Perhaps it can get this value from
request.get_vars. It would be a nuance if it were something you would
have to edit admin application automatically just to set the option to
"later".

I +1 this patch, since it looks to be a useful addition for those who
use the built-in editor.

[web2py] Re: Unit testing in web2py : Some thoughts

[spiffytech]

What about adding to the shell environment a variable containing the
name of the current app? Then scripts like yours could still get the
information they need, and the extra values could be removed from
sys.argv without a script having to import a helper.

Does this count as breaking backward-compatibility in web2py, or does
web2py only claim compatibility for models/views/controller code?

Re: [web2py] Re: Unit testing in web2py : Some thoughts

[Thadeus Burgess]

I do not like the idea of having to specify the name of the app twice,
it breaks DRY.

What about an additional command line flag that can tell whether to
strip sys.argv or not. This will keep backwards compatibility, and
also allow for scripts to have a simple sys.argv if required.

web2py.py --clean-argv

On this note, have you attempted to use unittest.TextTestRunner(...)
without the sys.argv=sys.argv[5:]

I believe that TextTestRunner should work since it shouldn't look at
command line args.

[web2py] Re: Uservoice: web2py forum

[waTR]

The idea of uservoice is not simply a list of feature requests, but
also a measure of popularity or demand. The forum isn't a good list of
features (as they are overwhelmed by posts about other topics), and
google code gives no indication upon quick examination of the demand
for a feature existing in the user community.

[web2py] Cuestion about jzip and jpg image?

[drayco]

Hi, web2py users,
I have a application with 6 web services with json in web2py.
I answer topological information every minute.
And my partners told me that the size of the answer is too large. They
told me that we need to use jzip.
The new requirements is that I need to give a jpg image too.

But I am a newbie in web application.

Can any of you give me a litle example with jzip?

And How can I put a jpg image in a web service?

Thank's in advance.

Re: [web2py] Re: Plugin system status

[Thadeus Burgess]

Yes we can resurrect 100's of posts on this topic of plugins in sub folders :)

There are two reasons Massimo does not support folder contained
plugins, from what I have read.

1. Execution overhead. Having to scan yet another folder will add that
much more overhead to the execution of a web2py app to find and
execute files in a plugins folder.

Potential solutions are

A) Specifically declaring plugins to execute, if they exist web2py
will go execute them.
B) Only find and execute plugins if you call Plugins() in a model.

I am in favor of A, however it requires one more step for the
developer to "initialize" a plugin.

2. Plugins should be able to control anything about an app. An example
Massimo provides is a "layout" plugin that can overwrite your
layout.html, or other views.

I completely disagree with allowing plugins this functionality. I
would rather a plugin like this change something like response.view to
another layout that exists in the plugins sub folder.

3. The current implementation requires no changes to the web2py base
execution code. The only code change was in Admin to hide the plugins
in a separate place to view the files.

This is probably the biggest reason as to why Massimo does not support
folder based plugins. This is quite understandable since there is
still alot to do with web2py (New DAL, new SQLFORM, etc etc). This was
also a quick and dirty solution.

Alex,  Thanks for this interesting information. This can make GAE

Massimo,  How do you imagine it would be supported?
Maybe as just an option on 'upload' type which is ignored when non-GAE?

Hi Alex,

This is the right place to make your suggestion.  I am sorry that no
one commented,  but this may mean that the group didn't see the
benefit of the patch very clearly.

However,  It would be a shame if someone goes to the trouble of
submitting a patch and didn't get a reply.  I hope others may also get
time to comment and, better still, try it out and, if they like it,
second it.

Re: [web2py] Re: Unit testing in web2py : Some thoughts

[Thadeus Burgess]

Yes, I forgot to mention the db.commit().

In fact, I would db.commit() after every successful
insertion/delete/update this way your tests will be more in line?

I do not know any reason as to why web2py passes along args that it is
not using. However I think this could be beneficial in certain scripts
that need to rely on certain parameters, like I have a backup script
that relies on the app name, I can look at the -S arg to determine
what app I am currently working on for this script.

There should be a way though to easily filter out web2py args from
sys.argv in a script perhaps a helper function in shell.py that
can do this for you when you call it.

Re: [web2py] Re: web2py with Cherokee via uWSGI: a simple, easy guide

[Thadeus Burgess]

A couple of suggestions with the slice

Make a note, for building uwsgi, that there are makefile.py25 and
others so that you can build it for the python version that you want.

Do include the little ``ssh -L 9090:localhost:9090 remote_IP`` trick
to securely connect to cherokee admin.

I do not see uWSGI listed under Wizards->Platforms. I do not see it
anywhere else.

I can run ``uwsgi`` from command line, so it is installed correctly in my bin.

The only difference is I have /web2py and /web2py/config.xml does this matter?

[web2py] Re: Unit testing in web2py : Some thoughts

[spiffytech]

I had not tried taking the sys.argv statement out of my code. You are
correct: when using TestTextRunner, sys.argv does not need to be
cleaned. I like the idea of a command line flag. It's probably a good
idea to offer such a flag, even though it turns out it's not needed to
run unit tests.

I'm really glad to see this work happening, and I look forward to the slice.

Perhaps we could eventually have unit tests as part of the welcome app, or 
indeed all three standard apps, both for documentation purposes and to set a 
good example.

 For me, it was a breeze to switch from Apache to Cherokee. I was happy
 with Apache too, but I used the fact that a client wanted Cherokee as
 an opportunity to give it a try, and I am glad I did :) Besides, it is
 not like you would have to remove Apache to use Cherokee, so what are
 you waiting for (besides possibly a free hour), give it a try!

The following packages are not installed by the PPA...

cherokee-doc
libcherokee-mod-geoip
libcherokee-mod-ldap
libcherokee-mod-libssl
libcherokee-mod-mysql
libcherokee-mod-rrd
libcherokee-mod-streaming

Installing libcherokee-mod-libssl fixes this.

Also they have a great article on creating and signing your own ssl
key, it seems the one I am using for apache setup is invalid :)

 You are right I could run cherokee on a non-standard port for testing

[web2py] auth.settings.registration_requires_approval

[baloan]

When setting

auth.settings.registration_requires_approval = True

new user registration seem to keep sitting in pending state. The admin
needs a user interface to approve or reject new registrations.

Is there any preconfigured approval pages/process built into web2py or
do I have to implement one by myself? Any template code out there?

[web2py] Re: mail plain text message wrong charset

[szimszon]

Hmmm... I don't use gmail or google to send email...

You talk about the character real representation like ÁÖ...
or the email part header
--===1974471883==
Content-Type: text/plain;charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

if you say us-ascii?

I think the email message part header
--===1974471883==
Content-Type: text/plain;charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

is part of the mail body and generated by python. I don't think it
gets rewritten by mail transport agent. So my primary concern is the
generated instruction about how to read the rest of the message. Is it
us-ascii or utf-8. I don't mind how is the text actually encoded...

[web2py] Re: Plugin system status

[pistacchio]

i'm late in the whole "plugin" discussion, i didn't really follow it
from start (being new to web2py).
my only question is: what is the _scope_ of plugins? as i got it
correctly, there's an ongoing debate on the form of plugins, classes
vs directories.

if we're talking about small things like "display the last post from
twitter plugin" or "contact form plugin" or "openid authentication
plugin", the class thing may fit. but if we're talking about wider
things like "the blog plugin" or "the forum plugin", i really wonder
how they could implemented without having their own directory
structure.

[web2py] I'd just like to say.

[Matt]

Hi Massimo ,

I'd just like to say a massive thanks to you and the rest of the
people who have contributed to making web2py such an amazingly nice
framework to use.

I'm in the process of porting an existing Django project in web2py and
I'm thoroughly enjoying how clean and simple web2py is.

The GAE support it brilliant, the API is flexible and well thought out
and having everything like JQuery etc bundled in is a massive help not
to mention a huge time saver.

Thanks for creating a better wheel. Keep up the fantastic work.

Kind regards,
Matt

[web2py] Re: web2py with Cherokee via uWSGI: a simple, easy guide

[GrayMatterComputing]

The guide is fine, it just needs to be Followed Step By Step without
skipping. ;)
I also figured the SSL and all was easy enough to find and, again,
outside the scope of this entry.

Re: [web2py] Re: mail plain text message wrong charset

[Thadeus Burgess]

I did some more testing.

Server A -> Google SMTP -> receive Content-Type us-ascii
Server B -> Custom SMTP -> receive Content-Type utf-8

If I take Server B's credentials for the SMTP server, and stick them
in Server A this is the result..

ServerA -> Custom SMTP -> receive Content-Type utf-8
ServerB -> Custom SMTP -> receive Content-Type utf-8

And I also did the reverse

ServerA -> Google SMTP -> receive Content-Type us-ascii
ServerB -> Google SMTP -> receive Content-Type us-ascii

The only change is the credentials and SMTP server I am connecting to,
no code changes whatsoever.

Re: [web2py] Re: web2py with Cherokee via uWSGI: a simple, easy guide

[Thadeus Burgess]

Actually, SSL is not out of the scope of this entry.

How do you expect me to access admin, or appadmin for that matter?

I can't use web2py without SSL :)

I have tried everything but it just keeps giving me an error saying
something is wrong with my .pem file, but not telling me "what" is
wrong. I even used the make-cert.sh that comes with cherokee.

[web2py] importing local modules

[Jonathan Lundell]

I've made a module that does a nice job, if I do say so myself, of 
encapsulating DataTables (I'll post something about it eventually). 

Since it's a module, I need to import it to my controller, which I'm doing like 
so:

import sys
sys.path.append(request.folder)
import modules.datatables as dt


My question: is there a better way to manage this? At first I was building the 
import path all the way from the web2py base, but I didn't want to include the 
literal application name.

Re: [web2py] Re: Plugin useradmin (membership manager)

[Thadeus Burgess]

You can use Admin to pack this in a installable format that admin can
then be used to reimport it into another system.

This is so it is a one click installation instead of having to go
unzip it and everything.

Thanks. Maybe the book should reflect this:

(I'd make the change, but I'm a little fuzzy on the details.)

again: web2py_ajax.html needs an area for something similar to
response.files but for raw script. Plugins, widgets and other
components could use it to include just this sort of thing.

Re: [web2py] Re: LOAD requires up to date web2py_ajax.html

[Thadeus Burgess]

py2jquery manager class does this already also your clienttools
has a version of this.

I am thinking something similar to these needs to be included into web2py.

[web2py] app admin - old app missing from list

[BrendanC]

newbie qns -
I just d/loaded the latest version of web2py and on start up I see
that a small app I created some time ago is not listed in the app list
- the files are there in the web2py directory.

Is there something I need to do to include missing apps (this is on
Win XP - so it's not a symlink issue afaik)?

also - where does web2py store its files by default and is this
configurable? (Fwiw I like to use my own (color coded  editor for code
editing).

TIA,
Brendan

[web2py] Re: Some interrogations concerning Web2py compatibilities

Tiago was right. You need the windows extension to have file locking
in windows. I do not know why they did not include that as standard in
Python. I agree with you it should be critical.

[web2py] Re: Cuestion about jzip and jpg image?

[mdipierro]

You should use a separate web server, for example apache, and
configure it use it gzip. It is explained here:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html

This is outside and transparent to web2py.

Perhaps this helps.

Exactly. Like you specify

db.table.field.uploadfolder=os.path.join(request.folder,'uploads')

you could specify

db.table.field.uploadmethod='gae_blobstore'

[web2py] Web2py Scalability and demos

[Alfonso de la Guarda]

Hello,

Right now, i have a costumer in the news business in my country which
expect, at least, 50 hits by day in their website.  Currently they
are using django as web framework but i wanna move some new apps to
web2py.  The questions are:

How can I convince them to agree to take the course for new projects web2py?
There are statistics from sites with similar traffic web2py currently employing?
There is documentation of performance benchmarks among web2py, django,
ROR or PHP?
Someone has information, or has gone through the same problem?

(A clarification: we have now developed small applications, but in
this case we speak of a large number of hits per day and that means
making a decision technically supported)



Thanks in advance,

Re: [web2py] app admin - old app missing from list

[Thadeus Burgess]

web2py stores all applications in

web2py/applications

So in this folder you will find

web2py/applications/admin
web2py/applications/welcome
web2py/applications/

You can edit these files with any external editor that you desire.
Personally I prefer WingIDE, however since I cannot afford it I use
Netbeans with python plugin. I just create my project and references
my applications folder, and all of my apps are version controlled as
well.

What has probably happened, from your description, is you had a old
version of web2py, you created your app and everything, and then you
downloaded a newer one in a new location. You just need to copy your
applications/ from the old web2py directory to the new one.

And since web2py/applications/ is all self contained, you can
easily store this elsewhere on your computer and simlink it to the
web2py/applications directory. Though keep in mind applications
created through admin will always existin in
web2py/applications/, but even then you do not need to use
admin to create/or edit any of the files.

[web2py] Re: app admin - old app missing from list

[BrendanC]

Thadeus,
Many thanks for your fast response - you nailed it - the newer version
I installed is looking for files/apps on my C drive - (I had set the
the previous version's apps up on my D drive). I just need to move
them per your suggestion. FWIW - I've also used the WingIDE for some
Python development and like it a lot for  general coding/debugging.

P.S. I'm not sure if it's possible to symlink in windows (xp). Windows
short cuts are somewhat similar to symlinks but may not work with
web2py .

thx again!

[web2py] request.vars bug?

[Ben]

Hi all,
I have a URL like the following:
feature_reading?
feature_id=15&sensor_id=51&sensor_id=52&sensor_id2&sensor_id=53&sensor_id=54

however, when I try to extract the sensor_id vars at the other end, i
get a list as such:
['51', '5', '2', '5', '3', '5', '4']

anyone had this problem before?

If you are using NTFS take a look into "hard links" they are simlinks
for windows. I used them for gaming back in the day. (to trick the
games that they were installing on C: when they were really installing

[web2py] Re: Web2py Scalability and demos

[mdipierro]

In general the bottleneck is the database access. The web2py DAL adds
negligible overhead to that

   http://web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/76

People have tested web2py vs Pylons (which people says it is faster
than Django and reddit.com uses it):

   http://www.mail-archive.com/web2py@googlegroups.com/msg04120.html

(these kind of results really depend on the app).

If you use the internal web server, web2py  uses cherrypy's which is
faster than the others python ones.

   http://www.rkblog.rk.edu.pl/w/p/simple-python-frameworks-benchmark/

(this is going to change since Tim wrote Rocket that is better than
Cherrypy's and we are about to move to it).

It would be nice to run more benchmarks.

[web2py] Re: request.vars bug?

[Ben]

Hmm, interesting..
request.get_vars = ...'sensor_id': ['51', '5', '2', '5', '3', '5',
'4']
post_vars is empty (as I would expect).
Cheers.

If it turns out to be a python bug I'll just regex it out of
request.values() instead :)

[web2py] Re: request.vars bug?

[mdipierro]

I think this is a bug in the cgi module but please do one test.

In gluon/mail.py there is

def parse_get_post_vars(request, environ):
dget = cgi.parse_qsl(request.env.query_string,
keep_blank_values=1)

Add this line:

   print request.env.query_string
   print dget

This will nail down the problem to the cgi.parse_qsl funtion.

[web2py] Re: any quick workaround for the datetime strftime() methods require year >= 1900

[mdipierro]

what about about we do something like this in web2py?

def format_date(d, format):
 format = format.replace('%y',str(d.year)[-2:])
 if d.year>=0:
 format = format.replace('%Y',str(d.year))
 else:
 format = format.replace('%Y',str(d.year)+'B.C.')
 d =
datetime.datetime(2000,d.month,d.day,d.hour,d.minute,d.second)
 return d.strftime(format)

[web2py] Re: any quick workaround for the datetime strftime() methods require year >= 1900

[vince]

is it just for years for B.C.? but currently python's strftime even
have error when it's year >= 1900.

[web2py] Re: request.vars bug?

[mdipierro]

I can reproduce it. It is a major bug in web2py. I fixed it in trunk
just now.
Thanks for reporting this problem.

The problem is that except for the first value '51' all other values
with the same keys where being broken into chars and the chars would
be appended.

[web2py] Re: any quick workaround for the datetime strftime() methods require year >= 1900

[vince]

it's just osx and windows problem since i've just google it. it's a
known problem on python.

ValueError: year=1897 is before 1900; the datetime strftime() methods
require year >= 1900
