Ok, I narrowed the problem a bit: In py4web/core.py, around line 207, there is this adjustment in order to make some variables threadsafe:
# make sure some variables in pydal are thread safe for _ in ['readable', 'writable', 'default', 'update', 'requires']: setattr(pydal.DAL.Field, _, threadsafevariable.ThreadSafeVariable()) Turns out that PyDAL's _enable_record_versioning(), in order to create the archive table, clones all original fields with their properties. Or, at least, it tries to: it seems that copy() fails to correctly transfer threadsafevariable informations when dealing with those variables. I guess that when cloned field's requires attribute is accessed those information are not valid anymore and py4web throws the aforementioned exception. I was able to circumvent this error adding an explicit copy of the attribute in pydal, but still I'm not sure if this could eventually lead to thread problems: for field in self: nfk = same_db or not field.type.startswith('reference') clone = field.clone(unique=False, type=field.type if nfk else 'bigint') clone.requires = copy.copy(field.requires) clones.append( clone ) Any thougths? -- 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.
