Web2py models/controllers/views are EXECUTED not IMPORTED. Therefore, any changes made to files in these folders, are executed on the next and subsequent requests.
You only need to flush/stop/start if you change say a MODULE (that is imported) or similar. You would never, and should never edit a file that is on the production server... all edits should be done locally, and uploaded to the server in some form or fashion. In any case, web2py files are just python files stored on the filesystem... you can edit them like you edit any other programming languages files. You don't have to use the web2py admin!!!! -Thadeus On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 4:38 PM, <s...@pobox.com> wrote: > > Thadeus> If your going to use an editor on your local computer.... why > Thadeus> are you going to even bother with using web2py to view the > Thadeus> files...
