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 on T :) -Thadeus On Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 9:59 PM, BrendanC wrote: > Thadeus, > Many

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@googlegro

This is a feature. If you have multiple values for the same var in the url you get a list with the values. On Feb 25, 10:06 pm, Ben wrote: > 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, wh

Also, I can confirm that request.values() produces the correct output: 'REQUEST_URI': '/tasman/query/feature_reading? feature_id=15&sensor_id=51&sensor_id=52&sensor_id=53&sensor_id=54... On Feb 26, 3:06 pm, Ben wrote: > Hi all, > I have a URL like the following: > feature_reading? > feature_id=15

[web2py] Re: request.vars bug?

I do indeed want multiple values, however, they should be ['51', '52', '53', '54']. On Feb 26, 3:37 pm, mdipierro wrote: > This is a feature. > If you have multiple values for the same var in the url you get a list > with the values. > > On Feb 25, 10:06 pm, Ben wrote: > > > > > Hi all, > > I ha

This parsing is not done by web2py. It is done by the Python cgi.FieldStoarge function. What is in requet.get_vars and request.post_vars? On Feb 25, 10:44 pm, Ben wrote: > I do indeed want multiple values, however, they should be ['51', '52', > '53', '54']. > > On Feb 26, 3:37 pm, mdipierro wro

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 :) On Feb 26, 3:50 pm, mdipierro wrote: > This parsing is not done by w

[web2py] Re: request.vars bug?

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 pr

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. On Feb 25, 10:06 pm, Ben wrote

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 On Feb 26, 1:20 pm, mdipierro wrote: > No it work for every date but just B.C. > > On Feb 25, 11:14 pm, vince
