I believe there is a way:One thing we can do is to after we create the model in web2py, there is a log file call SQL log. Someone can copy that and after creating a project in django, open up the settings.py and paste that in there.
After that, just type in: python manage.py inspectdb > models.py Which will generate models.py. Then someone can synch the db and create the app. Here is the link *:https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/howto/legacy-databases/ <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/howto/legacy-databases/>* The other direction is much simpler. Once the django model files are generated. Someone can do: python scripts/extract_mysql_models.py username:password@databasename > db1.py I haven't tried either or. Will be interested to see what others find out. On Saturday, March 28, 2015 at 9:35:15 PM UTC-4, Ron Chatterjee wrote: > > I agree with Phyo.
