When I pass as ajax param the vale of a input['file'] tag I obtain not a FieldStorage object in request.vars.filepath, but the string C: \fakepath\websys.py that isn't the real directory of file How can I get Fieldstorage object with filename and file stream?

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.

If I understand your description, the redirection is being returned as the

Nothing prevents you in web2py to create a modules/models/mymodel.py then import applications.yourapp/modules/models.mymodel.py and then call a function in there that defines the tables you need.

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. Massimo On Nov 13, 7:28 pm, Thadeus Burgess thade...@thadeusb.com wrote: 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.

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

Re: [web2py] Re: Discussion: Why is web2py bad for large deployments?
Doesn't work with code completion, and will be a maintenance nightmare! I spent weeks trying different code organisation patterns with web2py including what you mentioned, everything I attempted just caused more problems and made the code less maintainable. Like I keep saying, it all comes down to programmers preference. I started programming with Java, therefore I like object oriented programming that Flask+SQLAlchemy uses. -- Thadeus On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 11:23 AM, mdipierro mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu wrote: Nothing prevents you in web2py to create a modules/models/mymodel.py then import applications.yourapp/modules/models.mymodel.py and then call a function in there that defines the tables you need.

Jose. 2010/11/14 mdipierro mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu 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. Massimo On Nov 13, 7:28 pm, Thadeus Burgess thade...@thadeusb.com wrote: 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] Bug in saving changes to the about page for my application?
I just downloaded Version 1.89.1 source code version of web2py to upgrade (I skipped a few versions, in case that matters.)

[web2py] Trouble automatically updating dynamically generated image
Hello,
I am using web2py to monitor and control an instrument. I am
dynamically generating plots using matplotlib following the DNA
application example from SC2009 (http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/
sc/sc_dna_talk.pdf)
I was able to get the basic aspects working based on that example.
However, I want to automatically display new plots as new data is
available. I am using the following code in the view:
script
var auto_refresh = setInterval(
function()
{
$('#loaddiv').load('statusbox.load');
$('#threshpng').html('img src=/myapp/default/dataThreshPlot.png');
}, 5000);
/script
div id=loaddivloading.../div
div id=threshpngpng loading/div
The statusbox.load generates a table with some statistics about the
data, and this successfully updates every 5 seconds as desired.
However, the dataThreshPlot never gets refreshed, only the initial
version is displayed. (a timestamp is written to the plot when it is
generated so I can verify this fact).
If I simply browse to localhost:8000/myapp/default/dataThreshPlot.png
the plot is properly generated and displayed each time I refresh the
page.
I have tried adding this code to the dataThreshPlot function in the
controller:
response.headers['Expires'] = time.strftime(%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S
+, time.gmtime(time.time()+1))
to try to avoid caching, but still no luck.
I also tried making a very simple controller function as follows:
def dataThreshPage():
return dict(threshim= URL(r=request,f=dataThreshPlot))
and view:
img src={{=threshim}}
and tested that localhost:8000/myapp/default/dataThreshPage presents
the plot as expected.
I then modified the jquery refresh code to:
script
var auto_refresh = setInterval(
function()
{
$('#loaddiv').load('statusbox.load');
$('#threshpng').load('/myapp/default/dataThreshPage');
}, 5000);
/script
div id=loaddivloading.../div
div id=threshpngpng loading/div
but still no luck.
Any suggestions for how to get these plots to refresh?
Thank you,
G

[web2py] Question about unique=True and IS_NOT_IN_DB
I am getting unexpected results using the IS_NOT_IN_DB validator and

label=T('Unique
ID'),readable=True,writable=False,unique=True)
db.bio.requires=IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, 'bio.unique_id')
The table is called bio. All I want to do is make sure that a user can
only post one entry in the bio table. I don't want a user to be able
to post multiple entries. A user should only be able to edit his or
her single original entry. But for some reason, even with the above
code, when I test I am able to create as many entries as I desire with
the same account. Is there an easier way to do this? Is there
something wrong with the way I am using the validator? I have it set
to readable=True and writable=False for testing purposes only.
Thanks in advance.
