[web2py] Restoring backup from csv file fails - bug?
I have saved the database on the production server with
db.export_to_csv_file(open('backup.csv'),'rb').
On my development-environment I dropped the database (postgresql), created a
new empty one and the following happened when I tried to import the backup:
db.import_from_csv_file(open('/Users/js/Programmeer/zenex/produksie/backup.csv'),'rb')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File console, line 1, in module
File /Users/js/Programmeer/zenex/web2py/gluon/sql.py, line 1488, in

**kwargs)

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'id_map_self' referenced before assignment
Version: Version 1.89.1 (2010-11-12 15:14:36)
Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?

[web2py] Re: Stress testing a web2py deployment
Thank you very much. This does indeed seem like a useful tool. I will research more into it. The web2py installation was running on a 128mb Xen vps. As mentioned earlier, we used apache to reverse proxy. We had 17 users login at the 1st try simultaneously. Just trying to access the login page of our web app spawn off lots of apache processes and we believe that allowed only a few users to access the website. We subsequently reconfigured to use nginx as a reverse proxy and that worked out much much better.

[web2py] Selecting a few latest records
Hi, I have a table full of records and would like to retrieve only the 15 most recent records, sorted by their creation date. I've tried using the limitby= argument to select() in the DAL, but the online book only shows one example that uses limitby to select 2 records starting from 0, ie. limitby=(0,2). However, if I'd like to select the 15 most recent records, the database offset most likely isn't going to be 0. What should I pass to limitby in this case? //Ruiwen

[web2py] How to make a modal+ajax form manually?
Hi everyone, i'm doing a desktop like iGoogle, with boxes containing information from different sources (it can be the same application, or other apps). So I need send my own forms (like available_boxes, modify content preferences and so) I saw that the modal plugin is old and now is located inside plugin_wiki, but I need to do something like that with my own forms. Is there any way to do it manually? Thanks in advance.
[web2py] Re: web2py 1.89.1 is OUT
If you want to try it...
1). Download files:
http://keith-wood.name/timeEntry.html
Optionally this: http://plugins.jquery.com/files/jquery.mousewheel.3.0.2.zip
2). Add to views/layout.html
{{response.files.append(URL(request.application,'static','css/
jquery.timeentry.css'))}}
{{response.files.append(URL(request.application,'static','js/
jquery.timeentry.js'))}}
{{response.files.append(URL(request.application,'static','js/
jquery.mousewheel.min.js'))}}
3). Make sure those 3 files above are copied into the folders under
static dir.
4). Copy spinnerDefault.png into static/images
5). In views/web2py_ajax.html replace this:
try { jQuery(input.time).clockpick({
starthour:0, endhour:23, showminutes:true, military:true
}); } catch(e) {};
...with...
try { jQuery(input.time).timeEntry({spinnerImage:
{{=URL('static','images/spinnerDefault.png')}}, show24Hours: true,
timeSteps: [1, 30, 0], minTime: new Date(0, 0, 0, 7, 00, 0), maxTime:
new Date(0, 0, 0, 22, 00, 0)
}); } catch(e) {};
I included a couple of optional settings so you can see how they work
in combination.
It only takes a couple of minutes to set it up like this. Hope I
didn't forget anything. :)

Hi Ruiwen, See also 'orderby' in the book.

[web2py] Re: Discussion: Why is web2py bad for large deployments?
Hi Jason I guess you have to define 'large deployment' first of all. Number of records and size of DB? Number of concurrent users? Large data model or number of forms etc? Number of servers -- or replication? Global coverage? In principle I don't think there's any reason why Web2py would be worse than other frameworks. Usually it is much better! As an example, I think deploying to the Google App Engine should be able to scale sufficiently for everything but extreme cases :) If you specify more about what you wish to achieve this group may be able to give more specific advice how best to organise your project. -D On Nov 13, 7:12 am, Jason Brower encomp...@gmail.com wrote: I love web2py and it's the only framework i feel i am fully capable to do or learn to do quickly.

Hi Demetrio
You don't need to use plugin_wiki to use it. There is a warning that
is 'may' be old, but there's no harm in trying it :)
1. Create a new test app from the Appadmin interface. (e.g. named
TestApp).
2. Download plugin from:
http://www.web2py.com/plugins/static/web2py.plugin.mmodal.w2p
3. Install plugin. Open TestApp in the Appadmin, and then go to the
bottom of the page where you can install plugins.
4. Using Appadmin again, open the view file 'default/index.html' and
paste into the file after the first line (which says: {{extend
'layout.html'}} ):
{{a=PluginMModal(title='Hello World',content='give this a
try!',close='close',width=70,height=70)}}
{{=a}}
{{=a.link(H1('SEE MODAL WINDOW'))}}
5. Open the TestApp in your browser and you should see the index.html
page by default.
6. Click on SEE MODAL WINDOW.
Maybe the plugin might be useful for you after all as a starting

[web2py] databases folder not created in shell

As you can see this happens with the latest release (1.89.1) but it is
not a problem with this release since it also fails in 1.88.2 or even

Running it as web2py.py -P -S newapp
as suggested by mr.freeze in
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/msg/8d369683e24001ee
only masks the problem since the error does not occur but the
databases folder is still missing, at least for me.

Oh, noes! This widget suffers from so many usability issues I can't
believe it still exists.
1. controls are microscopic
2. it's not obvious you can switch between fields by clicking on them
since fields are enclosed in a single box with no visible separators
3. you cannot jump to desired values (you must cycle through values)
The optimal control would:
1. use familiar mechanism for selecting values
2. enable jumping to desired values
3. separate the components
A set of drop-downs or text boxes will do just fine in satisfying the
above requirements. I'll write the widget for you if you want, as soon
as I'm done with e4s layout.

[web2py] Re: PostgreSQL replication
SymmetricDS looks like the best alternative so far for the application I am working on. The application they developed for is a close match to the kind of data sync I need.

It would be best to have multiple master but that will be very difficult. Bucardo has multiple master but only for 2 masters once you get into the docs for it. The MySQL scheme I mentioned used primary key skipping on autonumbers so if the pool of replicas could reach 10 the autonumber increment was set to 10 then each machine got an offset to start with. It looks like PostgreSQL can do this as well with the sequences but appears to be a DDL setting and not a DB server config setting. I am new to PostgreSQL so I may not have found that aspect yet. By being careful with the app design I think I can get it down to one master which is more manageable and avoid key conflicts.

Some background: I switched from MySQL to PostgreSQL very cleanly using web2py as the vehicle. Sort description to document the process: Made a copy of the app, removed the content of the databases directory, added the prerequisite components (database and driver) to the system, created an empty DB, changed the connection string in the model, started MySQL verison of app in shell mode and ran all the data out to one CSV file and finally started the PostgreSQL version up in shell mode and did an import of the same CSV file followed by a db.commit(). After all that the application worked except for one group by orderby query PostgreSQL didn't like which was easy to fix and the change worked in MySQL as well. This was a database with 28 tables linked with lots of relations. My compliments to this great application server and infrastructure surrounding it. Of the available migration tools I found out on the net, most failed to work and would require extensive manual editing. The application will be installed in 10 locations scattered all over Alaska. All the locations are connected by a WAN with IPSEC to form a VPN so it looks like it is all in the same room except for network performance. Each location must survive a network outage and continue to work, The weather can be a problem up there. Any data tables that change rapidly are to remain local to each location. About 2/3 of the database is configuration information which changes very slowly. One table if this were running would have changed once in 5 years. Some tables change more often as employees come and go or equipment is added to a location. Config changes can be delayed by downed connections so eventual consistency is okay. I need something automatic since the people using the system are not technical and cannot be depended on to to a task. By restricting the application I could get the updates to one database instance but then there is a time delay until the local copy is in sync. I looked at MySQL Replication as described in the Linux Journal article July 2010 where they do a ring which has each server to the left in the ring is master to the slave to the right but I could see with intermittent networks down due to bad weather this could be a headache waiting to happen. Also the MySQL licensing has a degree of uncertainty to it so I would rather stay away. I am aware of PostgreSQL-R which is in beta, The uuid and timestamps available in web2py model help but then needs to be driven by cron in a batch oriented update. Sometimes I look at the NoSQL databases like CouchDB or MongoDB but then the foreign keys from the rapidly changing data is a problem. I could bridge it using equipment hostname or something like that but still I would rather stay inside one database. Hard problem to solve
Re: [web2py] Re: Discussion: Why is web2py bad for large deployments?
What is large deployment? Is it a large codebase that you must manage for an internal dashbaord, or just alot of users/database io that needs to scale out for worldwide access? If its the first case, web2py can get really complicated in dealing with lots of models and difficult to manage in an efficient manner. The larger your codebase the messier web2py apps will become. In the end, this would ultimately be up to the preferences of you and your team and what your willing to put up with. In the second case, framework hardly matters at that point. Disqus uses django, facebook uses php, reddit uses pylons, myspace uses coldfusion, microsoft uses asp, oracle uses java. Its always the database that becomes an issue regardless of programming language or web framework. -- Thadeus On Sat, Nov 13, 2010 at 10:53 AM, mdipierro mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu wrote: I agree with Villas.

Hi Branko I am not saying it is necessarily the best, but for me it is better than clockpick. It seems that hardly anyone is using just a Time widget. The Date and Datetime are both served by the other widget. The version of Clockpick in Web2py was always seriously flawed and it seems to me that I was the only one that noticed! So before criticising its possible replacement, please ask yourself, did you ever use it? :) With TimeEntry, once I found that you navigate the control just by using the arrow keys, I was delighted. That makes it much more usable, not less. If you set the minute interval to 30 mins then, even with the cursor just in the mins, I can cycle thru all the hours in the day within about 2 secs! I don't need the mouse any more! The criticism of the optional mouse click control being small is not totally fair because you can use a bigger control if you want. And, if you really want to use the mouse, use the scroll wheel, it's great. If anyone finds something better, please recommend it. In the meantime Clockpick is broken so what do we do while everyone goes off programming the perfect widget which I question they will be using themselves anyway! Best regards, -D

improve somewhat (particularly the explicit version, with +, -,

1. controls are microscopic
2. it's not obvious you can switch between fields by clicking on them
since fields are enclosed in a single box with no visible separators
3. you cannot jump to desired values (you must cycle through values)
The optimal control would:
1. use familiar mechanism for selecting values
2. enable jumping to desired values
3. separate the components
A set of drop-downs or text boxes will do just fine in satisfying the
above requirements. I'll write the widget for you if you want, as soon

Alex, I too am seeing that .load files are not being saved - add Chrome on windows 7 to the list. Firebug shows an error : area is not defined var data = area.textarea.value I suspect this is due to the regular editor not being defined (it is just a plain textarea instead of the usual editor with syntax highlighting, etc). Massimo, I was able to fix this by editing admin/controllers/ default.py and adding an extra check to edit() so that .load files would be considered html.

this implementation could not work:
- web2py creates tables and fields with lowercase letters, so User
get selectable only if database is set to be case insensitive
- dbo stands for dbowner and it represent the schema which the
object (in this case, a table) belongs. if your user has not the
db_owner role on the db you won't be able to see it
A few words also on this. Having objects beloging to different schemas
under the same database it's definitely an option, but web2py
(actually the library it uses, and many others like that) can't
choose different schemas... they simply ignore it and the database
defaults to whatever the default is for the user querying the database
itself.
You can have different schemas to separate between permissions on
different objects in the same database, but to avoid headaches it's
always better to create a separate user that owns a single database
and put every data inside it.
If the user in the connection string is db_owner of the database,
select * from dbo.table is perfectly equivalent to select * from
table

[web2py] Re: Discussion: Why is web2py bad for large deployments?
We are considering making this even easier. Two non-exclusive proposals on the table are: 1) make conditional models that are executed only for some controllers 2) promote the global objects (request,session,response,T,cache) to be thread local (as in Flask) so that they can be imported by modules and they do not have to be passed around. (Auth,Crud,Service could also be written). The problem is that we do not know if this will affect performance and it may potentially break something. We'll keep experimenting. Massimo On Nov 13, 1:48 pm, b00m_chef r...@devshell.org wrote: I disagree that web2py would become messy wrt the code-base. The solution I found was to simply put all my actual logic code in modules, then, I simply call up the specific object method in the controller function linked to the particular html file (view). I therefore don't keep any code in the Controller except object method calls to the module where the actual code resides. Within the module file, I can organize my data anyway I want. Django is no more organized, and no less organized. Most important thing to remember is that when you get to a size that web2py is no longer suitable, you probably have enough funding to pay a team of coders to write your app in pylons from scratch. Web2py can get you to that point though. On Nov 13, 9:48 am, Thadeus Burgess thade...@thadeusb.com wrote: What is large deployment? Is it a large codebase that you must manage for an internal dashbaord, or just alot of users/database io that needs to scale out for worldwide access? If its the first case, web2py can get really complicated in dealing with lots of models and difficult to manage in an efficient manner. The larger your codebase the messier web2py apps will become. In the end, this would ultimately be up to the preferences of you and your team and what your willing to put up with. In the second case, framework hardly matters at that point.

Re: [web2py] Re: Discussion: Why is web2py bad for large deployments?
These are encouraging. In large deployment I mean it in the most external sense of it. Facebook is big, myspace is big, those kinds of object were what I was aiming for. And with Massimo's comment about the database size. I think your right, the framework does become less relavent. In what ways in a large codebase making web2py code messier and is there a solution to it in another framework?

Is it a large codebase that you must manage for an internal dashbaord, or just alot of users/database io that needs to scale out for worldwide access? If its the first case, web2py can get really complicated in dealing with lots of models and difficult to manage in an efficient manner. The larger your codebase the messier web2py apps will become. In the end, this would ultimately be up to the preferences of you and your team and what your willing to put up with. In the second case, framework hardly matters at that point. Disqus uses django, facebook uses php, reddit uses pylons, myspace uses coldfusion, microsoft uses asp, oracle uses java.

Yes, you are right, users get up to all kinds of things :) However, I think it is still true to say: a. Form filling should still be efficient without using a mouse. b. TimeEntry is better than Clockpick (not least because the latter is broken). If we wish to take it further, I suggest one of the following: 1. Fix Clockpick and integrate the latest version (the Web2py one was broken anyway). I have tried to fix it this morning, but failed. I hate it now anyway! 2. Install TimeEntry because at least I have proven it is flexible and works. 3. Suggest an existing superior alternative to TimeEntry. I didn't include the option 'program our home-rolled version' because I really do not think that's a good idea when there is a free, off the shelf solution which is very flexible and already supported. I know we sometimes re-invent the wheel because 'we can', but surely there will be better things for us to do on a Sunday? Just my 2 cts.

[web2py] Re: web2py 1.89.1 is OUT
Yes, I suppose it depends on the application, use cases, user skill,
etc. Note, it appears that to use the keyboard with Time Entry, you
have to either read some instructions, or fiddle around until you
figure it out -- so, not the best for casual users just entering one
or two times, but yes, probably more efficient for a knowledgeable
user entering lots of times. I guess the question is which approach
makes more sense for the default widget in web2py.
(Note, it appears you can use the keyboard with ClockPick as well --
you have to use the mouse to get started, but then you can use the
arrow and enter keys to quickly select a specific time).

1. controls are microscopic
2. it's not obvious you can switch between fields by clicking on them
since fields are enclosed in a single box with no visible separators
3. you cannot jump to desired values (you must cycle through values)
The optimal control would:
1. use familiar mechanism for selecting values
2. enable jumping to desired values
3. separate the components
A set of drop-downs or text boxes will do just fine in satisfying the
above requirements. I'll write the widget for you if you want, as soon

[web2py] Re: MSSQL Select statements
Hi Crim,
if you can use db.user.email that means you have defined the table in
web2py.
As I understand it, as per your previous posts, that table was not
created with web2py so it must be a legacy table.
You can access it depending on two things:
1) If the table has an auto incrementing field similar to web2py's id
field then you just define that field as type 'id' (don't forget to
set migrate=False as per
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/06#Legacy-Databases-and-Keyed-Tables).
2) If there is no such field but the table has one or more fields that
are keys you can still access it using a primarykey definition (see
same section in the book as above).
There should be no need to use [dbo] or [master].[dbo] anywhere.
Posting your model would make it easier for others to help you.
Dens.

[web2py] Re: MSSQL Select statements
I use web2py and MS SQL with raw SQL queries often.
results = db.executesql(SELECT foo,bar FROM my_table WHERE blah = ?
and something = ? , ('criteria 1', 'criteria 2'), True)
The two extra pieces at the end will let you safely bind in query
parameters and the final True arg makes it so that the results are a
list of dictionaries. Thus you can do
for row in results:
print row['foo']
print row['bar']
not quite as slick as regular DAL but very usable, at least for
me. :-)
Hint - if you're doing queries for dates, the pyodbc doesn't seem to
automatically convert python date type into the needed format. Use
something like
results = db.executesql(SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE date_created
BETWEEN ? and ? , (start_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'),
end_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')), True)

always better to create a separate user that owns a single database
and put every data inside it.
If the user in the connection string is db_owner of the database,
select * from dbo.table is perfectly equivalent to select * from
table

The two extra pieces at the end will let you safely bind in query
parameters and the final True arg makes it so that the results are a
list of dictionaries. Thus you can do
for row in results:
print row['foo']
print row['bar']
not quite as slick as regular DAL but very usable, at least for

[web2py] Re: MSSQL Select statements
Crim,
Yes, the criteria are any python variables you might like substituted
into your query. I probably shouldn't have used only 'strings' in my
example, sorry.
my_city = 'somewhere'
my_state = 'MN'
start_date = date(2010, 11, 13)
end_date = date(2010, 11, 15)
results = db.executesql(SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE city = ? AND
state = ? AND date BETWEEN ? AND ?,
(my_city, my_state,
start_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d), end_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')), True)
The resulting SQL query would be:
SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE city = 'somewhere' AND state = 'MN' AND
date BETWEEN '2010-11-13' AND '2010-11-15'

Hi Crim,
if you can use db.user.email that means you have defined the table in
web2py.
As I understand it, as per your previous posts, that table was not
created with web2py so it must be a legacy table.
You can access it depending on two things:
1) If the table has an auto incrementing field similar to web2py's id
field then you just define that field as type 'id' (don't forget to
set migrate=False as
perhttp://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/06#Legacy-Databases-and-Keyed-...).
2) If there is no such field but the table has one or more fields that
are keys you can still access it using a primarykey definition (see
same section in the book as above).
There should be no need to use [dbo] or [master].[dbo] anywhere.
Posting your model would make it easier for others to help you.

[web2py] Re: web2py 1.89.1 is OUT
Hello,
the jquery timepicker is a good alternative to the clockpicker.
For my point of view, the clockpicker is good enough if it's working
as expected.
I would suggest to provide additional functionality, as timeentry and
other jquery widgets for ui enhancements in plugins.
The clockpicker misbehavior, as villas describes, i seen in version
1.89.1 and as well in versions within the range 1.86-1.88. But, if i
remember me correctly this was solved in 1.88.12.
Maybe someone could figure out the reason for that.

And my conclusion was that there is currently no good solution for this. 80% of the solutions are overengineered, and the rest either broken or painfully slow to use. To quote a conclusion from a stackoverflow user: Time pickers just take this kind of UI fetish to a new extreme. Why not allow your users to either type the time or just use a couple of drop down boxes for hours and mins. Even drop down lists allow a user to just type the time.[1] So, a fancy-shmancy time picker is just a waste of time. Indeed, writing a text box with client-side validation or a few drop-downs makes much more sense until someone comes with a solution that just makes sense to all of us and requires no further comments.

Let me just say that the chance that your app will have the traffic of facebook or twitter or even livejournal (yes it is still alive) is so small, that you really don't need to worry about it too much at such an early stage.

[web2py] The primary key constraint on legacy tables
Hi all,
I have a project in which I am supposed to use mysql. The database
already made up. I am facing an issue with the primary key check.
Whensover i insert a duplicate value for the primary key i end up with
a ticket rather than a graceful handling.
Here's the db model:
db.define_table('document',
Field('sno','integer',requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY(),IS_NOT_IN_DB(db,'document.sno')]),
Field('doc_no','string',requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY()]),
Field('issue','date',requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY()]),
Field('expiry','date',requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY()]),
Field('summary','text'),
primarykey=['sno'],
migrate=False,
)

Re: [web2py] Re: Discussion: Why is web2py bad for large deployments?
The biggest contributing factor is that web2py is executed and not import. The coder must always be sure to align objects and database in the correct order, including any auxiliary functions, class mappings, queries. He/she has to worry about the order of everything. Sometimes you can't have such order for complex systems. I think an import based system solves this in that the import statements declare the order instead of the physical location of the code doing that. -- Thadeus On Sat, Nov 13, 2010 at 2:49 PM, Jason Brower encomp...@gmail.com wrote: These are encouraging.

[web2py] DateTime Widget over-written by Auto-Complete suggestions
Using firefox 3.6.12.
My datetime widget is begin partially obsured by the input field's
autocomplete drop-down box which contains previous inputs. Maybe the
Z-Index needs fiddling with, or something...?
If anyone else needs a quick fix / work-around, I have simply added
the lines hereunder nto the web2py_ajax_init() function in
web2py_ajax.html:
try { jQuery(input.time).attr('AUTOCOMPLETE', 'OFF')
; } catch(e) {};
try { jQuery(input.datetime).attr('AUTOCOMPLETE', 'OFF')
; } catch(e) {};
try { jQuery(input.date).attr('AUTOCOMPLETE', 'OFF')
; } catch(e) {};
Maybe Massimo might prefer to have this as the definitive solution?

[web2py] Re: The primary key constraint on legacy tables
Hi Rishu,
keyed table support is only available for DB2, MS-SQL, Ingres and
Informix so far, as noted in
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/06#Legacy-Databases-and-Keyed-Tables
but you can contribute to web2py by adding support for mysql by
following point (E) at the bottom of
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/msg/c9848792a8999c5f
you can always ask for help here if you get stuck.
Alternatively, and if your 'sno' field is an auto-increment field you
can use it as id by changing its definition
Field('sno','id', ...)
(see the same book section as above).
Denes.

If its a unique int just set its type to 'id' and don't use primarykey
and everything will work. If you there is some other unique int column
set it to type 'id'. If there is no unique int column create it, it
shell not break functioning of other software that use the database.

[web2py] Re: Discussion: Why is web2py bad for large deployments?
I agree that there are things we can improve in web2py. Yet, if a complex application have many pieces that are untangled, the import mechanism does not necessarily help you. The solution is trying to design components that are relatively independent. If you can do this, web2py does not bet in the way. For example, you have 100 tables functionally grouped in ~10 and all they need to share is authentication, you may want to separate the functions in 10 different web2py applications (all sharing one database, each defining only the tables it needs, and sharing one session cookie). This modular design solves lots of problems. I have heard of people who have developed complex applications in Django (which uses the import you suggest) and run into problems because they were using more ram than needed since all modules were always imported. In web2py controllers are executed only when called and if you make many small controllers you save lots of memory. Controllers than then import the modules they need and only those.

[web2py] Re: Discussion: Why is web2py bad for large deployments?
I think that as long as you develop good code, choose a good interpreter, use assynchronous requests as adequate and good caching, you shouldn't have many constraints other than the database. There, I think there is no work-around. You have to make specific/manual DB handling for each DBMS to assure good scalibility. Out of the box, there aren't many things like this that do much better.
