@Constantine Vasil I had a similat task earlier. I am using a third party library named 'DABO'. Placed that in 'site-packages' folder within 'web2py' (source) & imported that in models & controllers as required. (Before that, I had tried placing it in 'modules' folder, but could not import in controller/model, don't know why).
After the first import, While importing it next time, there is no overhead (since python will not again import it, but read from .pyc file). Excuse me if I have not understood your question properely, but this's my take on your question, based on what I did for my similar problem. --- Vineet On Dec 9, 10:08 am, Anthony <abasta...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thursday, December 8, 2011 9:29:42 PM UTC-5, Constantine Vasil wrote: > > > OK let put it in reverse - how you would do this (GAE)/ > > > in default.py > > myaccount = MyAccount.get_profile(user_id) > > What happens when you do: > > from module_that_defines_MyAccount import MyAccount > myaccount = MyAccount.get_profile(user_id) > > Anthony
