I decided to go ahead and move my pickling to db.py with the following
additions:
import pickle
from gluon.sql import SQLCustomType
serialise = SQLCustomType(type='text',
native='text',
encoder=(lambda x: pickle.dumps(x)),
decoder=(lambda x: pickle.loads(x)))
...
Field ('answer', serialise)
When I try and insert a row I get the following error:
File "E:\projects\workspace\TestEnvoy\web2py\gluon\sql.py", line
1850, in insert
self._db._execute(query)
File "E:\projects\workspace\TestEnvoy\web2py\gluon\sql.py", line
890, in <lambda>
self._execute = lambda *a, **b: self._cursor.execute(*a, **b)
OperationalError: near "S": syntax error
When I had the pickle.dumps/loads calls within a module all worked
fine.
Where I have gone wrong?
