Wasn't Thadeus working on this, though? With a public API so it can
integrate into admin, and all the bells and whistles.

Re: [web2py] Re: passing width and height args to download controller from image

[Martin.Mulone]

It's a security issue that can be exploided if you allow public to manage 
width and height. 

Google in appengine for serving image the size has to be in: 

IMG_SERVING_SIZES = [

Re: [web2py] Re: it case you missed it...

[Wikus van de Merwe]

Why GPL is discouraging users? Is it the case that Drupal, Wordpress
or Joomla have no users? They are all released on GPL terms. Moreover,
they consider themes and plugins to be derivative work and as such
they have to be released on GPL terms if distributed. Still, thousands
of plugins and themes have been made.

Pay close attention here, *if* distributed. In common web development
scenario where expected end product is the working web application
deployed on some server, the application code is not distributed but
simply used and doesn't have to be released on GPL terms. In those
rare cases where client specifically require the source code as she
wants to deploy the application on her own, you release the code on
GPL terms but to her only. She paid for it's creation anyway right?

And with web2py, thanks to exceptions, you don't even have to do that.
Application code is not considered to be a derivative work. But
changes to the framework and works build on top of it are (that is,
*if* distributed). So again, you can have your own specialised version
of web2py running on some servers, but you cannot make a proprietary
fork of web2py. And this will be allowed by non-copyleft licences such
as modified BSD licence or X11 licence.

Now, those who would benefit from a proprietary fork are not the
users. And in that sense, by not allowing the community fragmentation
around a number of different less or more commercial oriented forks
the GPL helps to create a good framework, as it keeps the community
together.

So as I just showed to you, GPL is a non-issue for the users and
protects the freedom of the framework much better than non-copyleft
licences would. Your only argument being "the other Python frameworks
use non-copyleft licences" is not convincing. Statistic != merit.

Re: [web2py] Re: it case you missed it...

[Branko Vukelic]

Don't start this discussion again. :) It's already soft-of decided
that web2py will remain GPL.

Re: [web2py] Re: it case you missed it...

[Wikus van de Merwe]

The discussion was started by the advocates of non-copyleft licences. I'm 
perfectly fine with web2py on GPL terms (even without exceptions), besides 
maybe I would like to see it upgraded to GPLv3. However, it is too often we 
see the attempts to frame the GPL as deterrent scary licence that limits the 
project adoption and nobody takes a strong stance against such unfair 
claims. Then this false image of what GPL is and how it works is spread, 
because people are lazy and they will rather accept anonymous comment on the 
Internet as true rather than check the GPL faq or the licence itself. This 
is why I replied. Who knows, maybe sombody will learn from it something new.

 Good idea for code hosting, but it would probably still be helpful to have 
a web2py specific site (or section of web2py.com) to list, categorize, rate, 
search, etc. -- the listing on the web2py site could then point to the 
github/bitbucket/Google code repository for the app/plugin.

[web2py] Problem with basic auth

[Adi]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a function for authenticating users over a service.

This is my method:

def authenticate():

is_loggedin = auth and auth.user

if not is_loggedin:

auth.allow_basic_login = True 

is_loggedin = auth.basic()

return is_loggedin 

 

This is how I call it: curl -u a%40b.com:test 
http://127.0.0.1:8000/app/default/authenticate

 

 a...@b.com is the username, test is the password. This is returning False when 
I expected True. What am I missing?

[web2py] Re: Strange behaviour on SQLFORM update

[Seamon]

Changing the id to e_id solved the problem pretty well and it's a
nicer
solution than type checking the id if it is a list. :) The funny thing
is
that this code actually worked on an older web2py server and the
problem
started after the update. Thanks for help.

This is my method:

Re: [web2py] Re: Problem with basic auth

[Aditya Sahay]

But these methods will not log in a user if provided with username and 
password. The objective is to log in.

Hmmm... look into gluon/tools.py

def basic(self):
if not self.settings.allow_basic_login:
return False
basic = self.environment.request.env.http_authorization
if not basic or not basic[:6].lower() == 'basic ':
return False
(username, password) = base64.b64decode(basic[6:]).split(':')
return self.login_bare(username, password)


Can you add some print debug statements as see where it fails?

[web2py] Re: Web2py Application Exhibition ( Final Day! )

[GoldenTiger]

Yes, I remember, I'm short of time. I do not know if I will have time
to finish my app for tonight. It would be a pity, I like how my app
looks like , I'll try to do it tonight, but the rush is not funny, and
enjoying it is a rule.
anyway if the application does not end today, I can upload some small
applications that I have made, if only for participar.

How many submitted apps are?

Re: [web2py] Re: it case you missed it...

[pbreit]

Sorry but this requires a response.

Django and Rails (frameworks!!) are *far* better examples than the CMSs you 
point out.

BSD/MIT are definitionally better for users than GPL because they are more 
permissive. You'd have to prove some sort of unintended circumstance to 
dispute that for which there is no evidence.

Django and Rails have not suffered whatever Massimo is worried about. Quite 
the opposite, they have very large and active user bases.

No! YOU would have to give us a CONCRETE case where GPL+exception
setup may prevent someone adopting and using web2py. Otherwise, this
discussions previous conclusion (and that's that GPLv2 or GPLv3 will
be used in conjunction with a clearer, more precise exception clause)
still stands, and you may contribute usefully by answering Massimo's
request:

"If you guys can come up with a better way to phrase the [exception
clause], and there is consensus, I will probably adopt it. I think we
all agree with the intended intentions.If you guys can come up with a
better way to phrase the license, and there is consensus, I will
probably adopt it. I think we all agree with the intended intentions."

That's the new topic right now, and please do not try to divert it
back to what's been already discussed for probably too long.

[web2py] Result: None and I cannot figure out why

[Johann Spies]

Certain users may view data of the service providers in their provinces -
that is of tables with a service_provider field.

When I run this code on the command line all works as expected (data
contains a SQLTABLE).  However when I run it in the web-interface the result
is a page with





None



This happens only when I log in as one of the provincial managers (using the
if...  in the controller below).
Other users with different permissions do not have the same problem.

Controller:

@auth.requires_login()
def show_data():
   tabel = request.vars.tabel #requested tablename in uppercase.
   tb = tabel.lower()
   isps = provinsiaal() # a function returning a list of isp-id's the
manager is supposed to see.
   if isps:
  # provincial manager
  if tb in tabelle_met_sp:   # tabelle_met_sp = tables using
the normal fieldname: 'service_provider'
 data =
SQLTABLE(db(db[tb].service_provider.belongs(isps)).select())
  else:
 if tb in tabelle_met_sp_onder_ander_naam.keys():
spnaam = tabelle_met_sp_onder_ander_naam[tb]
#tables using other fieldnames for the same data
data =
SQLTABLE(db(db[tb][spnaam].belongs(isps)).select())
 else:
data = 'Something is wrong'
   else:

  wie = db(db.auth_user.id ==
auth.user_id).select(db.auth_user.username).first()['username']
  try:
 sp = db(db.service_provider.name== wie).select(
db.service_provider.id).first()['id']
 if tb in tabelle_met_sp:
data=
plugin_wiki.widget('jqgrid',col_width=130,table=tabel.lower(),
 fieldname =
'service_provider',
 fieldvalue = sp,
 width=950)
 elif tb in tabelle_met_sp_onder_ander_naam.keys():
data=
plugin_wiki.widget('jqgrid',col_width=130,table=tabel.lower(),
 fieldname =
tabelle_met_sp_onder_ander_naam[tb],
 fieldvalue = sp,
 width=950)
 else:
data =
plugin_wiki.widget('jqgrid',col_width=130,table=tabel.lower(),
  width=950)
  except:
 data =
plugin_wiki.widget('jqgrid',col_width=130,table=tabel.lower(),
   width=950)
  return dict(data=data,tabel=tabel)

[web2py] Re: it case you missed it...

[VP]

I do not think that GPL is the determining factor of why Django or
Rails are popular.

It is not clear that GPL scares off potential users.   I will go out
on the limp to say that most potential users of web2py will be in the
capacity of app developers, not framework developers. They might be
scared if they don't understand it as intended, which is why some said
it needs to be clarified.   Once the licensing is clear, they have
nothing to be scared about.

As for framework developers, sure GPL is not permissive for commercial
intentions.  So, if you want to branch of web2py, customizing the
framework, possibly improving it, and want to close source, then no
you can't do that with GPL.   But those cases are few, and arguably
not what most potential users care about.

[web2py] Resize images using PIL

[Andrew Evans]

I have been looking into how to resize images on the fly. For some reason my
code isn't working

my controller consists of the following code

def myImage():
if len(request.args) == 1:
return response.download(request, db)
else:
im = request.args(0)
im = os.path.join(request.folder, "uploads", im)
width = request.args(1)
height = request.args(2)
size = width, height
myImage = Image.open(im)

resized_image = myImage.thumbnail((size), Image.ANTIALIAS)
resized_image.save(myImage.format)
return resized_image

The width and height I am passing as arguments from view what am I doing
wrong with my image resize code


Any ideas

*cheers

Re: [web2py] Re: it case you missed it...

[pbreit]

It's not worthwhile fiddling around with the exception since the GPL stigma 
will remain.

It's clear that GPL scares off potential users.

I come from a background of relentlessly lowering barriers to adoption. I 
would very much like to see Web2py usage go way up.

Re: [web2py] Re: it case you missed it...

[Thadeus Burgess]

An excerpt: I think this sums it up.

---

GPL is a tool that uses copyright to enforce software freedom, but… in order
to be able to enforce that there must be a copyright holder that can take
action. The FSF is aware of this and is carefully requiring contributors and
their employers (!) to sign legal papers of copyright transfer:
http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/why-assign.html

The problem is that most GPL projects can not afford to force potential
contributors to get their employers to sign legal papers as it will reduce
the number of contributions to 0 and therefore the copyright to their
projects is either dispersed among the different contributors or even worse,
is questionably held by a single person or entity (with emphasis on
questionably).

empty database
and the error disappears.

That bug is already marked invalid. You'd have to give us a stack
trace if you want to reopen it, and preferably attach a working patch.
Please also note the version of web2py that you are using.

Hi Andrew,

I don't know whether you saw this:

Some of that code was definitely working OK,  so you might be able to

[web2py] Re: auth model

[Rick]

Thanks for the advice. This code seems to work:

**
from gluon.settings import settings
from gluon.tools import *

# if running on Google App Engine
if settings.web2py_runtime_gae:
from gluon.contrib.gql import *
# connect to Google BigTable
db = DAL('gae')
# and store sessions there
session.connect(request, response, db=db)
else:
# if not, use SQLite or other DB
db = DAL("sqlite://db.db")

db.define_table('todo',
Field('time'),
Field('thing'))

auth = Auth(globals(), db)

db.define_table(
auth.settings.table_user_name,
Field('name'),
Field('password'))


auth.define_tables()

custom_auth_table = db[auth.settings.table_user_name] # get the
custom_auth_table
**

...but now I try to write a kind of log in/out interface in views/
layout.html. I don't know how it should look like in the case of
custom auth. I tried with this that that gave an error mesage:

{{if not auth.user and not request.function=='user':}}
{{=atuh.login(next=URL(r=request,args=args))}}
{{pass}}

Any ideas?

[web2py] Re: problem with request_reset_password?

[kevski]

I found the problem. I think someone broke backward compatibility. A
new field was added to auth_user after I started the project. I think
the field was added to improve the security of the reset password
process so that's a good thing. Why this broken compatibility wasn't
disclosed and explained is a mystery. I discovered it by creating a
new project with the latest code and comparing the auth_user table to
what I had.

Anyway, for anyone experiencing this issue you need to add a field to
auth_user:

  Field('reset_password_key', length=512, default='', writable=False,
readable=False)

Re: [web2py] Re: "Unable to create application" on WebFaction

[Bruno Rocha]

I solved the problem.

I dont know why, but web2py in webfaction does not creates the 'deposit'
folder.

I just create myself.

on ssh:
cd webapps/app/web2py
mkdir deposit

Problem solved!

web2py will create deposit/ for you, but only when it's started from the 
command line. 

Likewise creating site-packages *and* adding it to sys.path. Indeed, grep the 
source for site-packages; the logic definitely needs work.

Perhaps this and some of the other startup logic ought to be factored out and 
then also called by wsgihandler and the other handlers. I don't see why one 
wouldn't want the same sequence everywhere (though the cgi and gae handlers 
probably want to have a more efficient test for whether the standard folders 
have been created, rather than testing each one) (since they run on every 
request).

I like GPL plus a (clarified) exception, but I wouldn't exactly say pbreit's 
concerns are invalid. There clearly is some history of confusion and concern 
among web2py users/developers and their clients:
 
https://groups.google.com/group/web2py/msg/ba5277320933a72a
https://groups.google.com/group/web2py/msg/de8b75aa2efe2fa5
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/msg/87b5cfc637c55433
http://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/ddg79/can_web2py_applications_be_provided_to_end_users
http://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/ej0p1/new_standalone_web2py_database_abstraction_layer/c18grty
http://jacobian.org/writing/gpl-questions/ (not web2py-specific)
 
And of course, there's no telling how many potential users saw "GPL" and 
just moved on, without asking a question on the list, reddit, etc. Although 
the precise empirical impact of the GPL on adoption has not been 
established, nor has the real risk of a commercial fork (mitigation of which 
appears to be a primary motivation for using GPL).
 
Another consideration is the ability to use individual components of web2py 
within commercial apps. For example, the new standalone DAL is GPL'ed. If 
someone uses the DAL in an application that does not otherwise use the rest 
of the web2py framework, would they have to GPL the application (the current 
web2py license exception doesn't appear to cover that case)?
 
Of course, once we go more permissive (e.g., LGPL, BSD, MIT), it will be 
hard to go back, so we should be cautious with any change. Trying to improve 
the clarity of the current exceptions and the way we communicate them (e.g., 
explicitly and prominently stating it is dual licensed) is probably a good 
first step. Maybe that will be enough to resolve the concerns without 
resorting to a more permissive license.

[web2py] Creating database tables tutorial?

[Hybride]

Hi everyone,

Am currently using SQLite3 but have no issues moving over to MySQL,
whichever is easier I guess. I've been trying to create the database
tables using the examples on web2py (like the whole pets/dog example),
copying and pasting the code from that example into my own
application, then trying to generate the tables. I've also tried to
create my own tables, with the code:

db.define_table('person',Field('person'))

Placing that in the controller, and letting it go free. I think you
can guess that it was unsuccessful. Is there any tutorial on web2py
that shows how to step-by-step create the tables? Do you have to first
create the tables in the database itself, then use define_table (I've
tried, unsuccessful)?

In any case, if anyone could point me in the right direction to said
tutorials (or give me the gist of it themselves, in MySQL preferably),
that would be greatly appreciated.

[web2py] Re: administrator controller

[Christopher Steel]

People can (and will) still host code elsewhere, Martins app allows
for a "snap shot" of a working application along with links to
wherever the code is hosted.

[web2py] Re: Creating database tables tutorial?

[JmiXIII]

I suggest you to have a look there :
http://web2py.com/examples/default/examples
=> go to example 29

Your first try is a bit 'curious' and I don"t think it this what you
want to do.
Another easy way to experiment web2py is using the wizard:
_ Launch the wizard
_ Create tables (read the comments)
_ Create the fields

=> generate and have a look to db_wizard.py

Just a remark : here => http://powertable.blouweb.com/products ,
shouldn't category field render a represent (category.name) instead of

Point is, it's been discussed over and over, and over, and over... in a more-or 
less the same manner, too. Just saying BSD! won't make it BSD. I think that's 
become clear. And it's become painfully obvious that we are all divided between 
GPL and anything-but-GPL, and we have come to the conclusion that it's 
Massimo's call. Massimo called GPL, because we have also clarified that there 
isn't a technical threat to the end users. TECHNICALLY speaking, nobody should 
really be concerned as long as they are aware of the exception and agree to it. 
So, repeating discussion, using Gplophobia or Gnuphobia as the pivot is not 
productive, and it would go on like this forever.

[web2py] Re: Web2py Application Exhibition ( Version 2.0 )

[selecta]

thanks, i fixed it, strangely this never resulted in an error at my
side

anyway you will need to link/move everything form the site-packages
directory into the /web2py/site-packages directory
the app is not inteded to be installed from source, but rather as a
complete package with web2py included
you will find a build script that creates these packages in
make_release

auth.define_tables()

custom_auth_table = db[auth.settings.table_user_name] # get the
custom_auth_table
custom_auth_table.requires = IS_NOT_IN_DB(db,

[web2py] DAL select cache, and update

[Dragonfyre13]

I see some discussion from back in 2008 on the subject, but hoping
something might have changed.

Is there any way that I can cache a select, and then on update,
automatically remove any cached selects on this table/field?

I see that I can remove cache for a specific query like this:
cache.ram(db._uri+'/'+db()._select(),None,0)
or clear all cached selects like this: cache.ram.clear(db._uri + '/
SELECT')
but I'm doing updates to a particular row, and all sorts of selects on
that table that have many types of different select statements (and
return data in that row). Is there a way that I can cache the select,
and then either remove the cache for any select statements that target
that row, or even (more intensive, but possibly doable) remove all
selects that are cached for that table?

Seems (from the outside looking in) that this should somehow be part
of the update statement. Something like:

db(...).update(..., cache=(cache.ram, 3600))

of course this should also work on:

db(...).select(..., cache=(cache.ram,
3600)).first().update_record(...)

but I don't find any info on that in slices, book, or this mailing
list.

Feedback? Questions? Flames? Answers? All accepted.

Yes, I agree, but all I said was that the concerns are not invalid (I
also pointed out an issue that has not thus far been addressed --
standalone DAL). I think we can decide to stick with GPL while still
recognizing it may present a barrier for some (possibly simply due to
confusion or risk aversion rather than a real legal threat). This
issue is both complex and important, so a long discussion should not
be surprising. I, for one, have learned a lot, and assuming we follow
through, I believe the result of this long thread will be an
improvement in the license and therefore the comfort of prospective
users. Those uninterested in the topic can easily ignore the thread.

[web2py] bug? - "list:string" widget changes from multiple select to separate option list

[Carlos]

Hi,

I've noticed that a "list:string" field, after a failed submit (with
validation errors) and when at least one value is selected, changes
from multiple select widget to the separate options list widget.

   Field('test', 'list:string', requires=IS_IN_SET(['a','b','c'],
multiple=True))

This occurs with new (create) and existing (update) records.

Is this a bug?.

Thanks,

   Carlos

[web2py] Re: Web2py Application Exhibition ( Final Day! )

[Anthony]

There's an error in the Application Exhibition 2.0 index.html view:

Project (URL):
{{=A(app.url,_href=app.url)}}
Download (URL):
{{=A(app.url_download, _href=app.url)}}
Demo (URL): {{=A(app.url_demo,
_href=app.url)}}

The download and demo href's are both set to app.url instead of
app.url_download and app.url_demo. So, the correct URL text is
displayed, but the actual hyperlinks point to the wrong URL.

[web2py] Re: Web2py Application Exhibition ( Final Day! )

[Anthony]

Excellent work. Thanks for sharing this.

Note, for me, in IE8 on Windows 7, the Categories demo isn't working
properly -- once I expand a row to see the details table, I cannot
then collapse it or expand the other row (i.e., the table just gets
stuck).

Also, I notice that one of the DataTables features listed is "Ajax
auto loading of data". Do you know if that allows for continuous
scrolling without the need to paginate (i.e., more rows are
dynamically loaded as you scroll -- like the new Google Groups
discussion topic list)? I think some other jQuery grid plugins have
that feature, but not sure if DataTables can do it.

Regards,
Anthony

Also, looks like 4 people have voted for Application Exhibition 2.0,
though it says it's just a test and not in the competition (I believe
because Martin is ineligible due to winning the last time). Maybe you
can disable voting for that one so people don't mistakenly waste their
votes.

Damn I.E, I did not test in I.E or windows yet, I just have a Ubuntu and
MacOs at home and just Macs at Office, I have to install some VirtualMachine
to test it in windows.

I dont know, but guess it can be done extending datatables, there is too
much feature to enable in plugin.

[web2py] Re: bug? - "list:string" widget changes from multiple select to separate option list

[weheh]

I've seen the list:string present as the separate options list widget
if multiple=True is missing from the requires. Could it be that after
a failed submit you are somehow changing the requires statement?

[web2py] Vote in web2py for PyCon 2011 Tutorials

[Bruno Rocha]

PyCon is made up of a number of different parts, each with its own goals.
For the talks presented during the conference portion of PyCon, we go for
both breadth and quality. There are enough different sessions and different
tracks that each person can customize their PyCon experience according to
their interests. For tutorials, the goal is slightly different. We want to
present tutorials that help developers deal effectively with their most
common day-to-day challenges. Accordingly, the following topics have been
generally proposed for tutorials at PyCon 2011. Which of these topics would
be the most useful for you? If tutorials were held on all these topics,
which ones would you or your organization pay to attend?

[web2py] Re: bug? - "list:string" widget changes from multiple select to separate option list

[Carlos]

Hi weheh,

No, I'm not changing the requires statement.

It's weird because it only changes widget when I select at least one
option.

If I don't select any option and the submit fails with validation
errors, then the widget stays the same (without changing to the
separate options list).

Thanks,

   Carlos

You are missing the main point here, and that's software freedom and two 
incompatible views regarding that. It's not by conincidence that there is a 
commercial EXCEPTION to GPL in web2py. The reason it's called an exception is 
that it is incompatible with the intent of GPL. Now consider that Massimo has 
_chosen_ GPL with an intent, and that GPL aligns with that intent. Do I need to 
go on?
