[web2py] Re: new dal

[ron_m]

I was away until 10pm, just did an hg update and recopied trunk to a
new work area plus copied dal.py to sql.py in gluon.

The welcome app gets this traceback on the index page after auto start
browser from TK interface.

web2py™ Version 1.89.5 (2010-11-21 16:03:13)
Python  Python 2.6.5: /usr/bin/python

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/camcentral/Dev/web2py_hg/gluon/main.py", line 446, in
wsgibase
BaseAdapter.close_all_instances(BaseAdapter.commit)
  File "/home/camcentral/Dev/web2py_hg/gluon/sql.py", line 169, in
close_all_instances
instance._connection.close()
AttributeError: 'SQLiteAdapter' object has no attribute '_connection'

My own application gets

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/camcentral/Dev/web2py_hg/gluon/restricted.py", line 188,
in restricted
exec ccode in environment
  File "/home/camcentral/Dev/web2py_hg/applications/ccims/models/
A_db.py", line 19, in 
db = DAL('postgres://ccims:oss3...@localhost/cc_ims') # CamCentral
IMS configuration database
  File "/home/camcentral/Dev/web2py_hg/gluon/sql.py", line 2402, in
__init__
raise RuntimeError, "Failure to connect, tried 5 times"
RuntimeError: Failure to connect, tried 5 times

Did I do something wrong in the test install copying dal.py over top
of sql.py to install the new dal?

The hg update was compared using meld to the work area from this
morning and I see quite a few changes to dal.py. Just re-ran meld
after I recopied the new trunk to the work area and I don't see the
differences so I am very sure I got the latest as of tonight.

Re: [web2py] Re: Scalability of web2py?

[Phyo Arkar]

If this become a langauge war:

Erlang have many scability advantages , yes , but Langauge Looks
horrible!! almost as readable as C (in my opinion)

I will only choose python .It will  not be  Super Scalable as erlang
but still scalable as proven by google.

sorry for my bad english.

This discussion becomes not about comparison of scalability of  web2py
or scability of web2py vs other framework but web2py vs other
langauges??

Re: [web2py] Re: when to use ajax

[Phyo Arkar]

yes , all your points are good.

But jq+jqueryui allows to build something really cool stuff like
jqgrid which is superb.I had check and qooxdoo's table is not even
half of jqgrid capabilities.

I just wish it would be really nice if qooxdoo will support jq's
themeroller.. and it will be more than perfect!

I am testing qooxdoo and going to put jqGrid and autocomplete plugins
in it to see how it fits :) I like both of them.

Somehow I don't feel like thats the same problem I am seeing.

Alright so to break down my file structure:

Inside of
/home/scadzomb/public_html/
I have,
./web2py/

In the web2py directory I have all the contents of the unzipped and
ran once web2py_src.zip

I have added .htaccess with
-
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^web2py\.fcgi/ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web2py.fcgi/$1 [L]
-

I have added routes.py which you can look at here:
http://scadzombies.org/documents/routes.py
This is a direct copy of the file so you can look at it.

And I have web2py.fcgi

-
#!/home/scadzomb/local/bin/python
import sys
from flup.server.fcgi_fork import WSGIServer
import gluon.main
application=gluon.main.wsgibase
## or
# application=gluon.main.wsgibase_with_logging
WSGIServer(application).run()

Check the server logs. That usually means there's a bug in your scripts.

It's a framework. It's got its own packaging system, build system, you
name it. Very powerful stuff. Plus you get an endless collection of
'stuff' to build your apps with. Amazing.

Re: [web2py] Re: when to use ajax

[Branko Vukelic]

The difference between frameworks like Dojo, qooxdoo, extJS on one
hand, and jQUI on the other is that the former are complete GUI
toolkits, whereas jQUI is a mere collection widgets. It's a difference
between plastic surgery and makeup.

Some of the stuff jQUI is missing:

* coross-browser form elements (as in looks the same and works the
same across browsers)
* panels and layout modules
* menu bars and context menus
* tree view
* i18 and l10
* (your favourite feature here)

What is worse is that jQUI is not even trying to get there. And before
someone points out a 3rd party plugin that does all of above, my
experience is that such features are better when they are supported by
the main developers. Supported packages tend to be of higher quality
and bugs get squatted faster. So unless jQUI becomes a GUI toolkit, I
don't think jQuery will be a good choice for rapid development of
fat-clients.

Re: [web2py] Re: when to use ajax

[Phyo Arkar]

Why nobody uses JQUI ?
http://jqueryui.com

yes extJS and other UI frameworks have already build UIs , but if you
want to build something from scratch jqui provide you all the stuff
you need. It have very powerful CSS Framework.
I found it very easy/productive to use, and themeroller rocks!

 They require you to release your _application_ code if you want to use
 Ext.JS with open-source license. It's kind of like GPL on steroids. :)

 Btw, I've been using Mootools for a while. Very pythonic. I absolutely
 love it.

[web2py] Re: strange problem with form

[VP]

When there's no problem (don't know when it will show up), this is
what is shown:

request.session_id is None
response.session_id is not

what do you meant by "see if they match of a new session is issued
when the problem appears."?

[web2py] Re: strange problem with form

No custom view.
Will try this.

[web2py] Re: strange problem with form

[mdipierro]

Do you have a custom form in the view?

It could be a session problem

Try display

{{=request.session_id}}
{{=response.session_id}}

and see if they match of a new session is issued when the problem
appears.

[web2py] strange problem with form

[VP]

I have this simple form.  Lately, I've got this very strange problem.
Occasionally, after I filled out the form and submit.  (See code
below). The form did not get submitted.  Every field is clear.
There're no errors (instead the "else" is entered with the message
"please fill the form".)

I can't replicate it.  But it seems it is occurring more and more.
Any idea?  Thanks.


@auth.requires_login()
def add_entry():
form = SQLFORM(db.entry)
if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
redirect(URL('post_process'))
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'form has errors'
else:
response.flash = 'please fill the form'
return dict( form=form )

[web2py] Re: Checkbox ajax not updating request.vars -- bug or pilot error? [Closed (but not entirely resolved)]

[weheh]

On further consideration, I consider this a kludge, albeit one that
I'm at a loss to figure out how to fix. The "web2py way" is web2py
+jQuery+ajax+css+... (hope I didn't leave something out). In the
interest of backwards compatibility, we need to think carefully about
this web2py_ajax.html file and how it gets updated. For instance, the
new web2py_ajax.html file and ajax-ing approach seem to be passing
variables by the name of the widget referenced by the event, not by
its id. In the past, it was id only. This is a rather substantial
change that I seem to have missed in the forum threads (I was out of
town for a few weeks) and also is missing in the doc. Beating my head
on this wall effectively wasted me a day. I've got to believe there's
a better way.

Nevertheless, I'm closing this thread because my underlying issue is
resolved. But I'm carrying scars from the experience.

I fixed the second problem but the first remains. I had messed up in
my implementation of routes.py completely user error, forgot a
parenthesis. :P As the traceback says.

So that error is gone, but when I navigate to www.scadzombies.org/web2py
I get the same 500 Internal Server Error

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmas...@scadzombies.org and
inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might
have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error
log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while

[web2py] Special Characters in Gluon DAL Connection String

[Tony Young]

Hi web2py-users,

Currently, Gluon DAL has no support for weird and whacky characters like @
in the database connection string.

I propose a patch to use unquote_plus to allow these characters, and leave
it to be an exercise for the user
to escape their own special characters.

This issue is also on the Sahana bug tracker:
http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/ticket/726

Another 'problem' is that it's not about performance when it comes to
Erlang. It's about overall robustness. For example, Yaws HTTP server
may not be the fastest around, but you just cannot kill it. Even if it
drops a request, it will keep on running, and handling whatever
requests you throw at it. I guess I had that in mind when I said
scalability.

Also, Erlang has software threads, afaik, not hardware CPU threads,
and it manages those internally using a supervisor-worker
architecture. That's something built into the language, and you mostly
don't have to worry about it.

[web2py] Re: Scalability of web2py?

[blackthorne]

I've read it while ago.
The "problem" with that test is the number of processors. It takes a
high number of CPUs to bring Erlang benefits.

And scalability performance is only one issue.
For example, how do you deal with deployment of a new version in large
distributed system while on production? With Erlang you can do it on
the fly with no ups and downs and you can even take it back
seamlessly.
What happens if you want to keep it ON for months? I have no clue
about Stackless Python.

That said, considering what I've seen about python and the differences
to Stackless, you bet on it as a great solution! I love it!

Re: [web2py] Forms, radio boxes, options, etc.

[Richard Vézina]

Here you will find some answers :

http://wiki.web2py.com/Form_Select_Options_from_DB

For your drop down you
have to define : requires=IS_IN_SET(['red',
'green', 'blue']) instead of requires=IS_IN_SET(['Non-Fiction',
'Fiction', 'Childrens'])

Hope this help!

[web2py] Re: Forms, radio boxes, options, etc.

[mr.freeze]

Look in the book under the HTML Helpers section:
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/05?#HTML-Helpers

This would create the form using helpers:
def index():
   form = FORM(SELECT([OPTION(opt) for opt in
['red','green','blue']]))
   return dict(form=form)

...or more verbose...

def index():
   opts = ['red','green','blue']
   form = FORM(SELECT(*opts))
   return dict(form=form)

...or even more verbose...

def index():
   opts = ['red','green','blue']
   select = SELECT()
   form = FORM()
   for opt in opt:
   option = OPTION(opt)
   select.append(option)
   form.append(select)
   return dict(form=form)

[web2py] Re: Deploying a site powered by web2py.

[pbreit]

Unfortunately, Python in general is a bit harder to deploy than HTML
and PHP. Site5 has a few different hosting options so to help out it
would be good to know what sort of plan you are on. If it's Shared
Hosting, I think you will want to try the "fastcgi" option. The web2py
book doesn't really provide information on this however.

If you have:
/home/username/public_html
/home/username/web2py

Add and ".htaccess" file at:
/home/username/public_html/.htaccess:

And put this in it:

AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./web2py/fcgihandler.py/$1 [QSA,L]

There's going to be one major problem in that you can't access
"admin". This page discusses these issues but for Dreamhost:
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Web2py

I have had the best luck running the "web2py.ubuntu.sh" script on
fresh installs of Ubuntu 10.04 at Amazon or Rackspace Cloud.

Right; you can't count on being able to simply copy it over to your application 
when it changes.

I've been doing this (a little tedious, but necessary). I make a copy of the 
stock web2py_ajax.html file (this could happen with other application files as 
well; layout.html in my case) to keep as a reference, and then make my own 
local changes to it (typically not a lot, but some).

When I'm motivated to incorporate a newer version, I diff the original stock 
file against the new one, to see what the web2py changes are, and diff the 
original stock file against my current file, to see what I did. Then I apply my 
changes to the new stock version (keeping a reference copy, of course), and 
also evaluate whether the changes to the web2py version have any implications 
for my app, and deal with them.

I could probably enlist hg to help with this process, but so far I've been 
doing it manually; I find it a little less confusing. You're basically merging 
two parallel branches, and sometimes it's hard to do that mechanically.

[web2py] Forms, radio boxes, options, etc.

[VP]

I'd like to use FORM(...) to create forms with radio boxes, drop-down
options, etc.  But I can't find any document on how to do this.

For example, if I'd like a drop-down option for 'red', 'green',
'blue', how do I do this using FORM?

Thanks.

OK, that did the trick. Thanks.

As for the web2py_ajax.html file, all I have to say is, 'Urggh!' This
is probably the 3rd time I've been bitten by changes to the file in
the last year or two. Must keep that in mind in the future.

In general, the stuff under applications/ doesn't fall under backwards 
compatibility, since it won't change once you've incorporated it into your own 
app, unless and until you want to change it, either by doing your own edits or 
by incorporating a later version.

Yep, changed on 11/3. Maybe web2py_ajax.html doesn't fall under the

it's selecting by name so just change your onclick to:

Perhaps this was a recent change in trunk but it's definitely not

Right. Not so much the important parts as the invariant ones--the ones that the

That's what I'm assuming, yes. I think it'd be best to avoid that complication 
for now, and if it turns out to be desirable down the road, we could add a 
hash_args=True default that would retain compatibility.

 Perhaps there should be an option to exclude the query string from the 
 hash calculation. Otherwise we can't sign URLs that are form actions (or 
 that are similarly used with Ajax).

[web2py] Re: new in trunk signed URLS

[Brian M]

OK, so make it so that if desired some subset of the URL vars could be
signed while still allowing other vars to be changed. That is
certainly doable and would be nice for securing only the important
parts.

Are you assuming that *all* the args *always* get hashed though - that
seems reasonable to me anyway since a form or ajax call shouldn't need
to manipulate them right?

If this sounds like a better implementation to you Jonathan (and
anyone else) then I can look at getting a patch to Massimo.

Hi Ryan,

you can find a fcgihandler.py file in the root web2py folder. I havn't

should be configured.

Thanks for the responses guys. I read all of chapter 11 and I must say
this is why I feel like really am missing something important in the
grand scheme of things. I simply can not understand what it is I need
to do.

I do not have root access so I can't do anything that requires it or
sudo, so I looked on the SITE5 forums like was suggested and looked
for a django setup thread. I found one and feel like I could follow
its steps but honestly I just don't get what needs to be done for a
web2py website to work and therefor I can not figure out the changes
that need to be made.

I need to use FCGI like Brian pointed out but I don't understand the
contexts.

Is there anyway someone could give me a rudimentary check list of what
needs to be done for a website to work, and perhaps examples or
specific links on how to do each step?

What does a fcgi file need to look like for web2py? What files need to
be directly in the www folder (public_html).

A little background: I have experience in Python and in Web Design,
not much in the incorporation of the two which is the main reason I
have looked into Web2py. I am needing to build a website that is rich
in features that HTML and CSS just can not handle and I need to be
able to program it fast. Now I can get Web2py working on my Local
computer just fine, no problem. I am even jumping into the actual
development rather quickly and easily. The framework is really
extremely helpful in the quick implementation of code and I am very
grateful that it exists.
Before I get too far in the programming and development of the site
that is needed I needed to make sure that I can get it hosted on the
internet and that it will work, and this is where it falls down. I
have only ever worked in html, xhtml, css, or javascript when it comes
to the internet and I do not understand the intricacies of apache or
wsgi or CGI at all. I am currently having a mental block on this area
and it is causing me intense frustration.
Simply put, how do I setup web2py coming from my webhost (in this 
casewww.site5.com) I have setup a virtual enviroment and unzipped the
source of web2py on the website. I can run the script web2py.py and
get it to prompt that it is running a server but I do not know how to
access it and I am under the impression that the web2py.py script is
really made for development not deployment of websites.
It should be noted that one of the main features I need is automated
database evaluation and manipulation.
Any help is extremely welcomed and I would be most grateful. I am
simply running out of time to be stumped by what is most likely a
simple issue.

If I try to send mail from web2py using local resources it fails silently.
I can use a gmail account to send the email it works, so perhaps I'm
configuring gluon.tools.Mail wrongly:
mail.settings.server = 'myIP:25'# your SMTP
server
mail.settings.sender = 'u...@mydomain.pt' # your email
mail.settings.login = 'user:pass'   # your
credentials or None 'username:password'

I'm unsure about mails.settings.server. Is this correct?

[web2py] Re: Checkbox ajax not updating request.vars -- bug or pilot error?

[weheh]

So I tried Nathan's suggested test case above and the return value of
request.vars.junk is always None, regardless of whether the checkbox
is checked or not. I'm not seeing the case where request.vars is empty
when the checkbox is unchecked. In a nutshell, unless I'm doing
something wrong, it's not working. I'm using web2py version 1.89.5.

[web2py] Re: Checkbox ajax not updating request.vars -- bug or pilot error?

[mr.freeze]

The var name should just be 'junk' since that is the name of the
checkbox. Also, I don't think you should have a closing parenthesis
after _id='no_table_junk'. Just a typo? Also, accessing it like
request.vars['no_table_junk'] will throw an error. Why not just use
request.vars.xxx and check for None? Also, it will not have a value of
'off' when unchecked, request.vars will just be empty. This works for
me:

def checktest():
div=DIV(_id='test')
inp = INPUT(_type='checkbox',
_name='junk',
_id='no_table_junk',
_onclick="ajax('process_checkbox',
['no_table_junk'],':eval');")
return dict(div=div,inp=inp)

def process_checkbox():
  checkbox_results=request.vars.junk
  return """jQuery("#test").html("%s");""" % checkbox_results

That would work. I'm not sure if it needs to be that general; is there a use 
case for hashing vars but not args? If not, then a boolean would be adequate 
(hash_vars=True by default; the caller sets it False if desired).

Another generalization would be to pass a set of var keys to be included in the 
hash: hash_vars=set('name1', 'name2'). The use case would be a form, again (or 
Ajax, perhaps), where the included vars would be page state kept in hidden or 
read-only elements of the form.

So: hash_vars=True  (default; hash all vars)
hash_vars=False (don't hash any vars)
hash_vars=set(...)  (hash only the vars named in the set)

The set needn't be a set per se, I suppose. Any iterable (well, not a string) 
would suffice.

I just did an install using the auto-installer feature from the site
admin page and it didn't work. Now, my web2py is corrupted and I have
to download manually.

[web2py] Checkbox ajax not updating request.vars -- bug or pilot error?

[weheh]

I have a form with a dummy checkbox:

#view
INPUT(_type='checkbox',_name='junk',_id='no_table_junk'),
_onclick="ajax('process_checkbox',
['no_table_junk'],':eval');")

#controller
def process_checkbox():
  checkbox_results=request.vars['no_table_junk']
  return """jQuery("#test").html("%s");""" % checkbox_results

Regardless of whether the checkbox is checked or not, the onclick
event passes to the "process_checkbox" routine a
request.vars['no_table_junk'] equal to 'on'. I would have expected it
to toggle from "on" to "off" to "on" again as I keep toggling the
checkbox from checked to unchecked.

Anybody know what's wrong?

Check the site5 forums for hints, it looks like wsgi isn't available
on the shared hosting plans but fastcgi is. There are some Django how
to threads you may be able to work off of and combine with what's in
chapter 11 of the web2py book.

Maybe I did something wrong getting dal.py activated?

[web2py] Re: new in trunk signed URLS

[Brian M]

Jonathan,

How would you like to see this behave? Perhaps URL('index',args=[],
vars={}, hash_key='xxx', hash=['args','vars']) and then
URL.verify(hmac_key='xxx', hash=['args', 'vars]) so that you could
choose which portions of the URL to sign and/or verify with hash=None
triggering the original behavior of hashing both? Since this hasn't
made it into a stable release yet I assume changes can be made still
without worrying about breaking backwards compatibility.

[web2py] new dal

[mdipierro]

The good news...

I have finished the new DAL for RDBMs. If you now replace gluon/sql.py
with gluon/dal.py as long as you do not use GAE, everything should
work fine. All tests pass.

The new dal should have all the features as the old dal but no more.
It just comes with a better more modular design that will allow adding
new features.

It defines the following classes:

class ConnectionPool(object):
class BaseAdapter(ConnectionPool):

# adapters
class SQLiteAdapter(BaseAdapter):
class JDBCSQLiteAdapter(SQLiteAdapter):
class MySQLAdapter(BaseAdapter):
class PostgreSQLAdapter(BaseAdapter):
class JDBCPostgreSQLAdapter(PostgreSQLAdapter):
class OracleAdapter(BaseAdapter):
class MSSQLAdapter(BaseAdapter):
class MSSQLAdapter2(MSSQLAdapter):
class FireBirdAdapter(BaseAdapter):
class FireBirdEmbeddedAdapter(FireBirdAdapter):
class InformixAdapter(BaseAdapter):
class DB2Adapter(BaseAdapter):
class IngresAdapter(BaseAdapter):
class IngresUnicodeAdapter(IngresAdapter):

# exposed by DAL
class Row(dict):
class SQLCallableList(list):
class DAL(dict):
class SQLALL(object):
class Reference(int):
class Table(dict):
class Expression(object):
class SQLCustomType:
class Field(Expression):
class Query(object):
class Set(object):
class Rows(object):

TODO:

1)
test dal.py
test dal.py
test dal.py

2)
break gluon/dal.py into
   gluon/dal/__init__.py
   gluon/dal/pooling.py
   gluon/dal/adapter_base.py
   gluon/dal/adapter_*.py

3)
reimplement gluon/contrib/gql.py as
   gluon/dal/adapter_nosql.py
   gluon/dal/adapter_gae.py

4)
implement
   gluon/dal/adapter_mongodb.py
   etc.

Can you help with 1) and 2)?

Re: [web2py] Deploying a site powered by web2py.

[Albert Abril]

I think deployment of web2py is one of the easiest of all the python
frameworks.
I found a lot of difficulties with Django. Maybe was my fault, but in web2py
was a lot easier.

Read Chapter 11 as Kenneth said.

[web2py] Timepicker

[Branko Vukelic]

Since we've discussed the topic of timepickers before, I've just
stumbled upon a very good solution from the Dojo camp. Here's a demo.

http://www-01.ibm.com/software/ucd/UE/dijit/tests/form/test_TimeTextBox.html?theme=claro

Except for the minor visual noise in the form of emphasized hundred
hours spots, I think it's overall a great solution. Of course, it's a
Dojo widget, so it would have to be ported to jQuery, although I
personally find Dojo much more pleasant than jQuery.

Of course two lines to be included somewhere must be:

Re: [web2py] Deploying a site powered by web2py.

[Kenneth Lundström]

Hello,

have you read the web2py book, specifically chapter 11, 
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/11 it should tell the most.


If you still have questions will try to answer them.


Kenneth


Now I do understand that I am probably asking a very rudimentary
question but in the end I need a rudimentary answer that I am just not
finding. Or if I am finding I don't know what i am looking at.

A little background: I have experience in Python and in Web Design,
not much in the incorporation of the two which is the main reason I
have looked into Web2py. I am needing to build a website that is rich
in features that HTML and CSS just can not handle and I need to be
able to program it fast. Now I can get Web2py working on my Local
computer just fine, no problem. I am even jumping into the actual
development rather quickly and easily. The framework is really
extremely helpful in the quick implementation of code and I am very
grateful that it exists.

Before I get too far in the programming and development of the site
that is needed I needed to make sure that I can get it hosted on the
internet and that it will work, and this is where it falls down. I
have only ever worked in html, xhtml, css, or javascript when it comes
to the internet and I do not understand the intricacies of apache or
wsgi or CGI at all. I am currently having a mental block on this area
and it is causing me intense frustration.

Simply put, how do I setup web2py coming from my webhost (in this case
www.site5.com) I have setup a virtual enviroment and unzipped the
source of web2py on the website. I can run the script web2py.py and
get it to prompt that it is running a server but I do not know how to
access it and I am under the impression that the web2py.py script is
really made for development not deployment of websites.

It should be noted that one of the main features I need is automated
database evaluation and manipulation.

Any help is extremely welcomed and I would be most grateful. I am
simply running out of time to be stumped by what is most likely a
simple issue.

Re: [web2py] Re: minimal setup on Debian for using Mail()

[Bernardo Botella Corbí]

Hi Miguel,

which test did you do from command line?
does web2py print something? Any error?

Try to do the next thing from the command line:
tail -f /var/log/mail.log

(if you are in ubuntu/debian, don't know where it would be in other
distributions...)

and see if it complaints about anything when trying to send a mail from
web2py.
