I run into this problem a lot, because on GAE I can only make db calls to a running server. So for example, if for an automated test suite I need to modify the database, I can't do this directly from an outside testing Python script. My solution is to create test controller actions that modify the db, and then expose them via XMLRPC. It works like a charm and makes the functions very easy to execute from any arbitrary Python script. --Jonathan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
