[web2py] web2py 2.17.1

[Massimo Di Pierro]

Hello everybody,

I released pyDAL 18.08 and web2py 2.17.1
They mostly contain bug fixes as well as better support for python 3 and 
bootstrap 4 by default.
Thanks to all those who contributed!

Please check them out and report any issue with them.

I have a been a little slow checking this group because of lots of 
traveling but I will do my best to catch up. :-)

Massimo

[web2py] Re: auto save feature

[Massimo Di Pierro]

I would not automate this. I do not see a one size fits all for this. The 
fact is that partial fills may not pass validation. I would instead create 
a pure JS function that periodically save the entire form in JSON to a TMP 
table.

Can you show an example of the body of the post that causes the problem?

[web2py] Re: Why not to mention support to Python3 on the official sites main page?

[Massimo Di Pierro]

I agree. We should mention it. We should also say that "web2py runs with 
pyhton 3 BUT web2py apps created with python 2 require web2py running under 
python 2 and apps created using python 3 requires web2py running python 3. 
They cannot be mixed."

To some this will break the plug and play if they are not careful. Maybe we 
should create a mechanism to automatically determine which version of 
python was used to create an app.

 Hi,

 I wonder here why Python3 support is not mentioned at the official 
 web2py's website?

 It is a very important feature which was not enough publicized, in my 
 opinion.
 It would improove marketing for the framework at least at our Country, 
 Brazil.
 Peoples colective memory here tends to remeber web2py only suports 
 python2.


 Thanks,
 Ari

[web2py] New web2py/pydal feautures for scalability

[Massimo Di Pierro]

Some of you may not like using the filesystem for strong data. In 
particular that is not a good solution for scalability. Now you can do:

myconf = AppConfig(reload=True)
# always store sessions in cookies
session.connect(request, response, cookie_key=myconf.get('app.cookie_key'))
# store metadata tables in db
db = DAL(myconf.get('db.uri'),
 pool_size=myconf.get('db.pool_size'),
 migrate_enabled=request.is_local,  # trigger a migration when 
called locally
 fake_migrate_all=request.is_local and request.vars._fake, # 
trigger a fake migration when passing ?_fake=1
 adapter_args=dict(migrator=InDBMigrator), # store metadata tables 
in db itself
 check_reserved=['all'])

Notice that if you change your code to do this in an exiting app, you must 
run a fake migration.
