[web2py] Re: plugin_wiki - Ajax to save pages?
Good idea. I'll take the patch. On Jul 29, 7:44 pm, Bruno Rocha rochacbr...@gmail.com wrote: to save a page in plugin_wiki page editor, we have to submit the page or focus in page title then hit enter. As I am writing large pages, I have 2 displays when editing a page, first to edit the code, and the other to frequently refresh and view the result. It is so annoying to submit the page every time I need to have a preview, is there any way to save the page code via Ajax, just like appadmin edit_area ? or may be, to have a preview panel, as you can see when editing a slice on web2pyslices.com or the one used to edit markdown in jottit.com Tks -- http://rochacbruno.com.br
[web2py] Re: question/suggestion about URL, controller
You are right but it only breaks backward compatibility in a case
where things would be misleading. Here are some example:
# old syntax that still works
URL('a','c','f')
URL(a='a',c='c',f='f')
URL(f='f',r=request)
#new syntax that resulted in an error before
URL('f')
URL('c','f')
URL(f='f')
URL(c='c',f='f')
## changed of behaviour
URL('a',r=request)
was /a/current_controller/current_function
now
was /current_app/current_controller/a
I.e. the change of behavior only occurs if the user explicitly
specifies r and a (without naming a) but not f. I.e. if the user is
specifying redundant information that may be conflicting (because a
may differ from r.application). Users should not be doing this anyway.
I have never seen anybody doing this.
Did I miss something? can you see any other case when the behavior
would change?
What do other people think?

Re: [web2py] Re: Why I hate Django by Cal Henderson
3) black magic IMHO. Would be nice to have some well defined path for the
programmer to work on this, so
that it could be seen as a separate layer for db configuration/tuning so
that models can be left almost untouched
on architectural changes.
2010/7/29 mdipierro mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu
The speaker raises some good issue with Django and some do apply to
web2py
Aside for the many jokes which are indeed funny he complains about
scalability and make these valid points:
1) session should be stored client side for scalability (web2py and
Django both store them server side, although it it would be trivial to
have a client side option and it is on my todo list, I will take a
patch if somebody does this first)
2) it is important to be able to connect to multiple databases
depending on the request (Django cannot do it, web2py can) I also just
added a modification in trunk that allows to do:
db=DAL([uri1,uri2,uri3])
and it will try to connect to uri1, then uri2, then uri3. Of course
you can do
db=DAL(random_permute(uri1,uri2,uri3))
to share the load at random. web2py will also try them all in case of
failure and re-try 5 times.
3) it would be nice if the ORM and DAL were to be smart about de-
normalization and about multiple db connection. There is a lot that
can be done in this direction. web2py allows an easy API to
denormalize many2many:
# define some shortcuts
D,F=db.define_table, Field
# define a table dog, a person, and ownership
d=D('dog',F('name'))
p=D('person',F('name'),F('dogs'))
L=D('ownership',F('person',p),F('dog',d))
# denormalize p.dogs
p.dogs.requires=IS_IN_DB(db,d.id,d.name,multiple=True)
# p.dogs will be used in forms, when it changes update L
def f(form):
db(L.person==form.vars.id).delete()
[L.insert(person=form.var.id,dog=k) for k in
form.request_vars.dogs]
crud.settings.create_onaccept.person.append(f)
crud.settings.update_onaccept.person.append(f)
In principle the job of the last 5 lines could be automated and be
done under the hood (what the user speaks about). It would be too much
magic but it would be convenient. We have been discussing some of
this.

[web2py] [Feature Request] js mimifier
1) it is nice to have the ability to debug javascript that comes with web2py. 2) it is a waste of bandwith to send full script. You can partially solve 2) if you work behind web server capable of sending compressed/gzip contents to clients willing to accept it, so that you can put all your jscript libraries human readable and have them compressed on the fly before transmission. Anyway IMHO web2py can do much better by using a mimifier similar to this: http://www.crockford.com/javascript/jsmin.py.txt The idea would be that in production mode a mimified version is generated of js inside the static dir once, else static js is served unchanged and debuggable. mic

Yes. Your example will work.
The only case in where you would get wrong behaviour if you do:
URL('otherapp',r=request) (*)
or
URL('otherapp','othercontroller',r=request) (**)
I.e. if you say the URL is in the current request (r=request) and stil
you specify the 'otherapp' and/or the 'othercontroller' but not a
'otherfunction'. If you specify a function either by
URL('otherapp','othercontroller','otherfunction',...)
or
URL(..,f='otherfunction',...)
there is no change of behavior.
I argue that (*) and (**) where wrong because misleading to begin
with.

it has no knowledge of request.
Why can't we do something like gURL from within web2py? When

[web2py] FreeTDS returns MS SQL money type as Python float, not Decimal
For background, refer to related questions on SO:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3364699/
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3371795/
I'm developing my app on Windows, but will be deploying it on a Linux
server. The following lines are from the top of my db.py:
if os.name=='posix': #Ubuntu
db = DAL('mssql://user:p...@10.0.8.30/TaxDB?DRIVER={FreeTDS}',
migrate=False)
elif os.name=='nt': #Windows
db = DAL('mssql://u...@127.0.0.1/TaxDB_Dev?
Trusted_Connection=Yes', migrate=False)
The problem I am running into is that on Windows, my MS SQL money
fields are returned as Python Decimals. However, on Linux, those same
fields are returned as floats. I think the issue is with FreeTDS.
The above lines are the _only_ lines that are different between my
production and development versions. Obviously, the environments
themselves are vastly different.
Is there an alternative to FreeTDS to connect to SQL Server from
Linux? Do I need to provide some additional info in my connection
string? Am I just stuck because I'm accessing SQL Server from Linux?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

[web2py] Re: FreeTDS returns MS SQL money type as Python float, not Decimal
Ideally, I'd like to avoid having to purchase a commercial product.
Plus, I don't think it would work. mxODBC appears to be a replacement
for pyodbc. It looks like mxODBC uses FreeTDS just like pyodbc. The
problem appears to be with FreeTDS, so mxODBC doesn't look like it
would be a fix for my particular problem. In fact, mxODBC says as
much itself:
(From the mxODBC change log, Changes from 2.0.7 to 3.0.0:
http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBC/changelog.html)
Added new experimental subpackage mx.ODBC.FreeTDS which allows
connecting to MS SQL Server from Unix. This is still far from even
being called alpha due to the current lack of implementation support
of many important ODBC APIs in the FreeTDS ODBC driver.
The problem still seems to be FreeTDS.

Are they both connecting to the same database?
Can you provide an example of how you insert and how you extract data?
This is to understand the issue better. In fact
gluon/sql.py contains the following code:
...
elif field.type[:7] == 'decimal' and value != None:
decimals = [int(x) for x in
field.type[8:-1].split(',')][-1]
if field._db._dbname == 'sqlite':
value = ('%.'+str(decimals)+'f') % value
if not isinstance(value,decimal.Decimal):
value = decimal.Decimal(str(value))
...
so technically even if the database where to return float (wrong),
web2py should still return decimal. Is this the case for you?

[web2py] Re: Webfaction deployment
webfaction day2: the auto-logout problem and why Many coincidence lead to the auto-logout (lost session) problem. Here is a how-to which you shall not follow. :-) Problem: Even the web2py welcome app on webfaction tends to ask me to re-login often, due to something is wrong with the session. How to reproduce the problem: 1. Follow the official latest stable source install script [1] to setup web2py as normal. 2. Setup an http site for normal use, and an httpS site for admin. And as usual, both sites map / as URL path to the same web2py instance. 3. Due to lack of domain resource at the beginning, I setup both sites with the same only domain I have, MY_ACCOUNT.webfactional.com. (This is coincidence 1. I should better use different domain names, such as www.top_level_domain.com for normal site, and admin.top_level_domain.com for the admin site.) (And, later I know that I can use the ip string as a second domain, to avoid all later problem.) 4. Visit http://MY_ACCOUNT.webfactional.com/welcome/default/index , register a new web2py welcome account, then login, you will see a Welcome your_first_name at the upper-right corner. 5. Use SAME browser, open a new tab, to visit https://MY_ACCOUNT.webfactional.com/appadmin/index, page shows up fine. (This is coincidence 2. If I use another browser to open a new window hence a new session, I should be fine.) 6.

of course ;-) appadmin sets session.secure() which turns the session cookie into a secure cookie and it cannot go over http, only https.

Here is a how-to which you shall not follow. :-) Problem: Even the web2py welcome app on webfaction tends to ask me to re-login often, due to something is wrong with the session. How to reproduce the problem: 1. Follow the official latest stable source install script [1] to setup web2py as normal. 2. Setup an http site for normal use, and an httpS site for admin. And as usual, both sites map / as URL path to the same web2py instance. 3. Due to lack of domain resource at the beginning, I setup both sites with the same only domain I have, MY_ACCOUNT.webfactional.com. (This is coincidence 1. I should better use different domain names, such aswww.top_level_domain.comfor normal site, and admin.top_level_domain.com for the admin site.) (And, later I know that I can use the ip string as a second domain, to avoid all later problem.) 4. Visithttp://MY_ACCOUNT.webfactional.com/welcome/default/index, register a new web2py welcome account, then login, you will see a Welcome your_first_name at the upper-right corner. 5. Use SAME browser, open a new tab, to visithttps://MY_ACCOUNT.webfactional.com/appadmin/index, page shows up fine. (This is coincidence 2. If I use another browser to open a new window hence a new session, I should be fine.) 6.

Re: [web2py] Re: FreeTDS returns MS SQL money type as Python float, not Decimal
Touché! Point taken on the commercial software :)
As a fall-back plan, there is an acceptable workaround. I can
explicitly convert the floats I receive into Decimals. Based on
Massimo's post, it looks like this will only be an issue for money
fields returned from a .executesql statement. For all other queries
where I can leverage the DAL, I think web2py will handle things just
fine.
I'm going to post a message to the FreeTDS message board and see what

Added new experimental subpackage mx.ODBC.FreeTDS which allows
connecting to MS SQL Server from Unix. This is still far from even
being called alpha due to the current lack of implementation support
of many important ODBC APIs in the FreeTDS ODBC driver.
The problem still seems to be FreeTDS.

I'm developing my app on Windows, but will be deploying it on a Linux
server. The following lines are from the top of my db.py:
if os.name=='posix': #Ubuntu
db =
DAL('mssql://user:p...@10.0.8.30/TaxDB?DRIVER={FreeTDS}http://user:p...@10.0.8.30/TaxDB?DRIVER=%7BFreeTDS%7D

elif os.name=='nt': #Windows
db = DAL('mssql://u...@127.0.0.1/TaxDB_Dev?

The problem I am running into is that on Windows, my MS SQL money
fields are returned as Python Decimals. However, on Linux, those same
fields are returned as floats. I think the issue is with FreeTDS.
The above lines are the _only_ lines that are different between my
production and development versions. Obviously, the environments
themselves are vastly different.
Is there an alternative to FreeTDS to connect to SQL Server from
Linux? Do I need to provide some additional info in my connection
string? Am I just stuck because I'm accessing SQL Server from Linux?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

[web2py] Re: FreeTDS returns MS SQL money type as Python float, not Decimal
Massimo,
Per your first post:
If I run the query using DAL, I get a Decimal type back for both
environments. Of course, there is no way for web2py to make that
coercion for fields returned from .executesql. Since that minimizes
the pain greatly for me, I think I will just go ahead with explicitly
converting to Decimals when working with .executesql.
If I learn anything with reference to FreeTDS I'll be sure to come
back and post that here.
Thanks to you and Michele for the help.

Right. It's worth making a distinction, too, about how an application gets distributed. If you're delivering a service over the net, then the .pyc files are unreadable, but so are .py files. To the extent that you can embed your IP on the server rather than in the code (html or JS) that must be delivered to the client, the more you'll protect. OTOH, if you're delivering the app itself to someone who will run it on their own server, then .pyc files are not all that secure against reverse engineering.

You make a good point, Jonathan. And I think there is a underlying question here. Which kind of audience is web2py targeting to? If for developers, the existing DAL syntax is already powerful and magical enough (the document is also good, here it is. http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/06 ). Developers don't need another layer which is more fancy but not more powerful.
