[web2py] Google App Engine Launcher and Deployment

[Simon Ashley]

Just a first time play with this.
  (Environment: Python 25, current Web2Py nightly source {copied to
the Python25 root} and fresh copy of the Google App Engine Launcher)
App is working fine from a command line python25 call
When run from the Launcher -> Browse, is fine with a static page, but
when accessing data, it throws the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python25\gluon\restricted.py", line 194, in restricted
exec ccode in environment
  File "C:/Python25/applications/demurage/views/generic.html", line
98, in 
  File "C:\Python25\gluon\globals.py", line 310, in toolbar
for i in thread.instances]
  File "C:\Python25\lib\_threading_local.py", line 193, in
__getattribute__
return object.__getattribute__(self, name)
AttributeError: 'local' object has no attribute 'instances'

Table is generated in the GAE, data can be imported, but nothing
accessed through the application.

Any ideas?

Does it mean the code won't be any longer under hg so those who prefer
hg over git would have to use hg-git?

[web2py] DIV Helper and Include

[miroslavgojic]

How to make {{include}} to work in DIV Helper

I have next situation

{{=DIV(DIV('some code',_id='code'),include,_id='content')}}

[web2py] Re: serving a zip file

[peter]

Yes, the downloaded file is corrupted with IE8 but not with chrome.
When I compare the files with a hex editor, they both begin and end
the same, however, the last byte of the original file is at 6EA11,
whereas the last byte of the downloaded file is at 6D7311.

So it appears that it is losing a few bytes but not at either end.

Windows reports the size of the two files as 6.91MB on server and
6.83MB after downloading

It would be great if (when the code is fully tested) some full example
code for getting

It would be a much welcome addition to the greatly improved (and

[web2py] web2py on GAE and supplementary package usage

[Minocha]

i'm new in deploying applications on the GAE using the web2py.
I wanted to ask what is the procedure to make available external
libraries for python controllers in web2py on platforms - GAE and also
on external server where i would like to host a website.

[web2py] GAE and (smart) grid

[Casey Schroeder]

Running into the problem that GAE doesn't like the use of OR, embedded
in the use of dbset.select(left...  on line 1640 in the SQLFORM.grid
definition.  I assume it is because of the restriction to no joins on
GAE.

For my purposes, i just set searchable=False as a parameter and that
fixed my problem.  But for users who need it, a fix, or a change will
need to be made i think.

Thanks

It might be so good if we could divide responsibilities to develop

It's nice.

[web2py] db modeling question regarding DAL, SQLFORM and nested items

[Erwin Pass]

Hi there,

I saw on stackoverflow that you prefer questions here :)

I need to display a form for a nested table structure. This means that
a record of a table might have a reference to another record of that
table. I have no idea how to model  something like this using DAL and
SQLFORM. I guess it isn't even possible but  you might have another
idea to implementi this.

To illustrate my problem  think about some xml or html structure where
a node of a certain type can contain nodes of other types as well as
nodes of the same type.



text
 ...
nth text
 
 
 ...
  


A div block might contain other div blocks. This seems not to be
possible to model using DAL:

db.define_table('div',
Field('text', type='string'),
Field('ul', type=db.ul),
Field('div', db.div))

This attempt results in some KeyError: 'div', probably caused because
db.div is about to defined but referenced before it could be
constructed fully.

The second part of the problem I'm facing might be an even tougher
one. Because I not only need to store references to _one_ another
record of the same table but to a unknown number of such records. (It
is not known how many divs the user choses to nest within...)

I guess this requires another table like db.div_to_div which contains
the references (ids) but then I'm lost on ideas how to connect
implement the view which connects all this and enables the user to
enter his data.

[web2py] Re: db modeling question regarding DAL, SQLFORM and nested items

[Anthony]

You can do self references -- 
see http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/06#Self-Reference-and-Aliases.

You would need to do Field('div', 'reference div').

[web2py] mercurial - cmdutil.addremove undefined error

[tom h]

Hi, sorry it's my first time really posting here.

I'm not even sure if I'm posting this correctly, basically i'd like to
reply to this post:

http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/cd98e22e0461ce13

basically i'm on mac os lion with python 2.7 and mercurial 1.9.3.  it
cannot find the method addremove in cmdutil function.

seems like addremove used to be in mercurial.cmdutil and now is
deprecated.  how are people getting around this?

thanks a lot!

You can set permissions for a table that do not exist. Use 'tablename'
instead of db.tablename. If unsure, post your model.

[web2py] Re: serving a zip file

[Massimo Di Pierro]

Why
response.headers['Content-Type'] = "application/octet-stream"
shouldn't it be
response.headers['Content-Type'] = "application/zip"

I am not sure this causes the problem but it may be, if IE thinks the
data is ascii and not binary.

[web2py] adding fields to auth.define_tables

[Lucidguppy]

In auth.define_tables - theres an argument to have a username in the
table. Which is nice to have.

Is there an easy way to use the default auth.define_tables but add a
couple of extra fields like "favorite_color" and
"what_is_your_quest"?

Thanks

[web2py] Re: adding fields to auth.define_tables

[Anthony]

Yes, see http://www.web2py.com/book/default/chapter/08#Customizing-Auth. 
There are two methods -- using auth.settings.extra_fields (if you just want 
to add a few extra fields to the end of the table definition) or creating 
your own custom auth_user table definition (if you need more thorough 
customization).

[web2py] Re: GAE and (smart) grid

[Massimo Di Pierro]

You are right. GAE does not support OR except in some simple cases (OR
that can be rewritten as operator IN).
There should be code that limits the type of allowed query on GAE with
datastore.

Please open ticket and I will fix this asap.

Re: [web2py] Re: web2py powweb

[Jose Luna]

Sry but I don't know how to check if they have mod_wsgi. They just say that
can run pyhton 2.5 scrip and that they should better be put into a folder
named *cgi-bin*. this the info they give about python:

How Python works at PowWebPowWeb's PowerPack allows you to write scripts
using Python. To ensure that your Python scripts work smoothly, please refer
to the following information before you get started:

   - Path to your Web directory:*
   /home/users/web/b1821/pow.techwaresolutionscom/htdocs*
   This is important, as most of your scripts will need to specify this
   location. For example, this is required if uploading files was a function
   that you'd like your Python script to do.

   - Path to Python: */usr/bin/python*
   Note that PowWeb's CGI servers automatically direct your scripts to this
   path. You do not need to change the "#!" line at the top of your scripts.

   - Version of Python: *2.5*
   This is the version of Python that PowWeb runs on its servers. Newer
   versions may be installed as they become available.

   - Required filename extensions: *.py*
   These are the extensions that your Python files must have or they will
   not work. For example, they would be *yourscript.py*

   - Recommended path: *http://yourcompanyname.com/cgi-bin/yourscript.py *
   If you do not have a domain name, point to: *
   http://yourusername.powweb.com/cgi-bin/yourscript.py.*
   Note: PowWeb recommends that you use your cgi-bin as the default folder
   for all your cgi scripts. We cannot guarantee that they will work outside of
   this folder.

[web2py] Re: DAL level access to GAE entities by named key

[howesc]

I finally got back to this.  using web2py trunk there was a minor 
modification to dal.py in the attached patch to make the following example 
work:

db.define_table('funtest',
Field('name', length=128))
def create_one():
id = request.args[0]
from google.appengine.ext import db as gae
class funtest(gae.Expando):
name = gae.StringProperty(required=False)
item = funtest(key_name="label:"+id,name='bob')
item.put()
return "done"
def read_one():
id = request.args[0]
from google.appengine.api.datastore_types import Key
from google.appengine.ext import db as gae
key = Key.from_path("funtest","label:"+id)
#this fails, unknown key exception
entity_keyid = db.funtest[key]
entity_keyselect = db(db.funtest.id == key).select().first()
entity_keyid2 = db.funtest(key) #this returns None
from google.appengine.ext import db as gae
entity_gae = gae.get(key)
return dict(key=key,
entity_keyselect=entity_keyselect,
entity_keyid2=entity_keyid2,
entity_gae=entity_gae)

Note that i had to create_one before i read_one and i have to use the same 
ID arg to each method.  also, if i defined the model class in the same 
method as i was doing the DAL query GAE gets confused because there are 2 
definitions of the same class.  also your other DAL code must not assume 
that the ID for this table is an int (which we often do).  i think it might 
break things like default representations etc.

i suppose the follow-on question is going to be "how do i set a named key 
using DAL".  lemme know if there is interest there and i'll dig into it.

massimo - do you need a google code issue for the patch?  is web2py OK with 
an ID that is a string?  it worked in the simple example but i don't know if 
other features expect the ID field to be an int.

[web2py] Re: DIV Helper and Include

[Massimo Di Pierro]

The problem is that {{include}} {{extend}} and {{block}} are not
python keywords and they are reseolved before python is executed,
therefore they cannot be included in Python. This can be changed in
the future. You may want to open a ticket suggesting an improvement.
Yet It would not be easy.

extra_fields has been around a little while, but I think it was only

In fact you can also set permissions for "tablename"s which are not
tables at all but just name you give to an object.

[howesc]

for libraries that GAE does not provide, put them in a site-packages folder 
just inside the web2py folder.  They will then be on your path.  it is up to 
the user to ensure that the libraries that you include follow the GAE rules.

[web2py] Custom Form Action empty

[miroslavgojic]

in controller I have next line for form

form = crud.create(db.name,next=URL('index'),message=T("some text"))

 in view I have

{{=form.custom.begin}}
{{=DIV(DIV('Name:',
_id='two'),DIV(form.custom.widget.fieldname,_id='three'),DIV(form.custom.submit,_id='for'),_id='one')}}
{{=form.custom.end}}

this code produce

 

is is possible to put some value in action and how

[web2py] Re: Custom Form Action empty

[Anthony]

After defining the form, try:

form['_action'] = your_value  # e.g., URL('controller', 'function', ...)

You can also do form.update(_action=your_value) or 
form.attributes.update(_action=your_value).

Basically, form is a helper object, _action is an attribute of the helper, 
and helpers behave like Python dictionaries with regard to their attributes 
(so the above are just regular dictionary methods). form.attributes is a 
dictionary storing just the attributes of the form, but you don't have to 
bother accessing it, as you can access the attributes directly from form.

[web2py] Re: plugin_wiki crud and auth

[pinwc4]

That makes sense now and will be very useful in some cases.

I should have just read the source code instead of pestering people as
it is very obvious now that I looked at it.  I just assumed that it
would be too complicated for a beginner like me to understand.  But
that is the beauty I see with Python, reading the code is much simpler
than other languages.

[web2py] metraschedule metra.pickle file

[Chris Steel]

Hi Massimo,

Do you or we have the / a metra.pickle file around for metraschedule?
It is not included with the Metraschedule app. I think it used to be
under examples/static/metra.pickle. The app looks for it in
tests/metra.pickle

Thanks,

Christopher Steel

If it is not in
http://web2py.com/MetraSchedule/static/web2py.app.metraschedule.w2p
then I do not have it.

[web2py] Re: web2py on GAE and supplementary package usage

[Massimo Di Pierro]

You should not use local_import. It is deprecated and anyway not
designed for this.

Just put the packages in site-packages, and use normal import. site-
packages is in sys.path.

[web2py] Debugging with uWSGI

[luckysmack]

I want to get dubugging setup, and the main options I see are using
winpdb, pydev, or wingide. But all the examples I see are to debug the
web2py.py app when it is run and the debugger grabs the process. But I
am using the cherokee webserver with uWSGI, so how would U use it in
this way? I want it to grab an existing process and monitor the port
(wingide calls it passive listening, I just don't want to have to buy
wing if I have other good options). I am leaning either towards using
winpdb with my current IDE, or using the pydev plugin in AptanaStudio.

So can anyone recommend how to setup debugging when im not running
web2py.py to start the process? Thanks.
