Hi, I would like to seek knowledge/expertise. I have this function - which shows "all user activity in the previous 90 days" def all_activity(): tabledata=TR(B('Date/Time'),B('User'),B('Activity'),_style='background-color:lightblue;') #formatted header for row in db(db.activity.date_time>datetime.datetime.today()-datetime.timedelta(days=91)).select(db.activity.date_time, db.activity.user_email,db.activity.activity, orderby=~db.activity.date_time):
tabledata=CAT(tabledata,TR(TD(row.date_time.strftime('%d %b %Y, (%H:%M %p)'),_style='white-space:nowrap;'),row.user_email,row.activity)) #using CAT() to build the rows return dict(rows=TABLE(tabledata)) Although it may seem an unusual way to create a table (is it?), it works..... except that when I get to about 350 records I get this error: RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp After some elimination-testing, it seems the CAT() helper is at the root of the issue If the function is written like this: def all_activity(): tabledata=[] tabledata.append(TR(B('Date/Time'),B('User'),B('Activity'),_style='background-color:lightblue;')) for row in db(db.activity.date_time>datetime.datetime.today()-datetime.timedelta(days=91)).select(db.activity.date_time, db.activity.user_email,db.activity.activity, orderby=~db.activity.date_time): tabledata.append(TR(TD(row.date_time.strftime('%d %b %Y, (%H:%M %p)'),_style='white-space:nowrap;'),row.user_email,row.activity)) #essentialy using a tuple instead of CAT() return dict(rows=TABLE(tabledata)) ...the error appears to go away. Yes - I know that the second verion of the function (using tuples) is a better way - it was just that I was taken by surprise with the error. My function is not recursive, but raising a recursive exception. So, I want to get the view of experts why the CAT() helper would be causing the problem? Essentially, is re-iterating CAT() causing a recursive issue? If so, is there a way to make the CAT() helper work in this scenario? BTW - this is on 2.9.5+rocket+sqlite. I also have the issue with 2.9.5+apaches+mod_wsgi I saw a note one this forums that claims a move to MySQL would solve the error. But I am note sure I have exactly the same symptoms and scenario. Thanks for the guidance. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
