This is an old post. But I had this problem too. 'track_changes' works fine in a brand new project. But i can't get it to work in my now quite large project.
Eventually I found something that works. My module is called 'public.py' and it lives where it should - in the 'web2py/applications/myapp/modules' folder. I include the following at the top of the db.py file in the 'models' folder. import importlib import sys importlib.reload(sys.modules['public']) I am not sure what the proper approach is to develop using modules. I have a lot of code in the models folder currently. However everything i have read says 'dont put too much stuff in the models folder' and 'dont reload modules'. I know i shouldn't reload modules when in production. But it would be unpleasant to develop code in modules if i had to restart the server everything each time i made a change. If anyone has any thoughts on the right way to do this i would be love to hear them.
