Hi, What would be the best way to extend (add methods, not subclass) web2py classes?.
For reference if I want to add the method 'test' to db (DAL class)?. I was doing something automated, but basically the following as a specific example: def test(self): return 'test from DAL' import gluon setattr(gluon.dal.DAL, 'test', test) And that works ok so far: db.test() > 'test from DAL' But I believe that is NOT thread / concurrent safe, right?. I need to add multiple methods to multiple web2py classes (the above is just a simple example to illustrate my goal). And I also need to have access to the environment's own variables (db, request, response, my own instances, etc.) on each web request, in a *safe* way (without 'mixing' anything). Is there anything you could recommend in order to accomplish this?. I believe this has something (or everything) to do with the concurrency problems I describe in my other post: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/web2py/3qIJXnGV-mc/discussion Thanks!, Carlos
