[web2py] Issues with python in the menu.py
So I have been playing with the idea of having some dynamic menus and I
am a bit stuck...
If a user is logged in and has created a conference then they should see
an extra menu item with all of the conferences they are currently
organizing.
I have this in the menu.py file...
if auth.is_logged_in():
users_conferences = db(db.conference.creator ==
auth.user.id).select(orderby = db.conference.name)
if users_conferences:
users_conferences_list = []
for event in users_conferences:
users_conferences_list.append((event.name, False, URL(
'conference', 'enter', args = event.id), []) )
response.menu += [(T('My Conferences'), False,
URL('default','my_conferences'), [
users_conferences_list
])]
But I get a menu like this instead.
It's almost as if the menu item code is not executed but taken as an
almost literal string.
Must be something simple I am missing.

psycopg2 (and postgres in general) on mac can be tricky. it's been a while since i did this, but the obvious thing to double check is that the web2py is using the same version of python that psycopg2 got installed to. chances are there are multiple python installs on your machine (this is not uncommon) and psycopg2 is not in the same one as web2py is using. cfh

[web2py] extra arguments for Table and Field
Hello. I'm trying to implement common grid operations (with Ext JS, GridPanel) for all tables in my app. Now I would need some extra info on table and field levels as hints, ex. default sort order of a table, column width of a field. The easiest way would be to have a extra argument in gluon.dal.Table and gluon.dal.Field in which I could store all the associated info. Otherwise I have to store it in separate place, not directly related to the tables fields. What do you think about this? Good or not necessary? Thanks for your feedback! Regards, Marcel
[web2py] Re: DAL: all database connections should be made by using the credentials of the authenticated user?!?!
Mind that if you do this connection pooling will not work and you it will result in shower response time.
[web2py] mod_wsgi + CentOS + web2py in subdirectory = possible?
I spent 6 fruitless hours yesterday trying to get Web2py working on my
hosting service: a CentOS VPS running Apache 2.0.52, Python 2.7,
mod_wsgi 3.3 (latest), and web2py 1.94.6 (latest stable). I need it
to run in a subdirectory since I use the server for other things.
After trying everything within reason and reading everything I can
find, I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that web2py just doesn't
work in this configuration. If somebody can get me unstuck, I would
be *very* appreciative. If there is a reason why this is impossible
or if there is some needed modification to the instructions, maybe it
would be good to document that in order to save others from the same
frustration. I'd be happy to help with that.
ERRORS SEEN:
- 503 : (13)Permission denied: mod_wsgi (pid=10472): Unable to
connect to WSGI daemon process 'web2py' on '/etc/httpd/logs/wsgi.
7370.102.1.sock' after multiple attempts. ... received when visiting
http://example.com/web2py-apps/
- 403 : client denied by server configuration: /home/siteadmin/web2py/
wsgihandler.pywelcome ... received when visiting
http://example.com/web2py-apps/welcome/default/index/
WHAT WORKS:
- mod_wsgi works with a simple hello.py WSGI script.
- Running web2py by running python web2py.py works.
- Running web2py via wsgiref.simple_server.WSGIServer, started by my
own script, works.
ALREADY TRIED:
- I started with the Apache configuration in the book (
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/11#mod_wsgi ) modified so that
it runs in a subdirectory (i.e., /web2py-apps/ instead of /).
That gave me the above errors.
- Verified that mod_wsgi is getting Python 2.7.
- Tried temporarily setting it to live in the server's root. Same
errors.
- Checked that Apache can read the directory where web2py lives.
- Verified that mod_wsgi works and web2py works. I just can't make
them work together.
- Looked at Graham Dumpleton's blog posts and other pages about this.
CONFIGURATION:
WSGIPythonHome /usr/local/python/python2.7
# ...
VirtualHost ###.###.###.###:80
# ...
WSGIDaemonProcess web2py user=siteadmin group=siteadmingroup display-

AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
Files wsgihandler.py
Allow from all
/Files
/Directory
# (and also the stuff about static directories and admin panels)
# ...
/VirtualHost
QUESTIONS:
- Has anybody ever gotten web2py working in a subdirectory (i.e.,
http://example.com/web2py-apps/welcome) with mod_wsgi? Some things I
read while searching indicated this isn't possible without intensive
customization.
- Has anybody ever gotten web2py working with CentOS? Some things I
read while searching indicated web2py doesn't work well with CentOS.
One person changed providers for that reason.
- Would mod_proxy be more fool-proof? Given the time and frustration
spent trying to make it work with mod_wsgi, I am reluctant to try a
totally different strategy unless there's reason to believe it would
be easier.
I am totally new to Web2py and I was very impressed when running
locally. Right now, I'm frustrated. When I got started, it looked
like this was going to be much easier. Maybe just bad luck that I
happen to be on a CentOS server. I don't know. Anyway, if anybody
could give me a pointer, I'd really appreciate it. If I ever get it
working, I'll definitely write back with a HOWTO.
Thanks,
Alex

[web2py] Re: extra arguments for Table and Field
You can already do:
db.table.field.extra = {}
extra is not a keyword but you can attach attributes to a field
object. You can do it with tables too but they must be preceded by and
underscore to avoid naming conflicts with fields:
db.table._extra = {}

[web2py] Re: IS_IN_DB no dropdown list
The online version of the book is continually edited, so it will be more up-to-date than the printed copy. I doubt there's much (or anything) in the printed book that is out-of-date (i.e., no longer correct), particularly given that web2py maintains backward compatibility of the API. However, there may be a few new features that are not in the printed book (and may not even be in the online book yet). To help identify newer features that may not be in the book, you can look at the change log at http://web2py.com/examples/default/changelog (link accessible from the download page). I think the printed copy of the book was up-to-date as of somewhere around version 1.81 (maybe a little later).

Weekends are 30% down. While news posted on reddit.com/r/Python do not cause us any spike (up or down), news on the front page of reddit.com/r/Programming did cause our numbers to spike, recently. That is because the number of people who read /r/Python is very small and many accounts are probably created by the same few people. And they all seem to have made their mind (one way or another). /r/Programming has a much larger community. Massimo

I spent 6 fruitless hours yesterday trying to get Web2py working on my
hosting service: a CentOS VPS running Apache 2.0.52, Python 2.7,
mod_wsgi 3.3 (latest), and web2py 1.94.6 (latest stable). I need it
to run in a subdirectory since I use the server for other things.
After trying everything within reason and reading everything I can
find, I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that web2py just doesn't
work in this configuration. If somebody can get me unstuck, I would
be *very* appreciative. If there is a reason why this is impossible
or if there is some needed modification to the instructions, maybe it
would be good to document that in order to save others from the same
frustration. I'd be happy to help with that.
ERRORS SEEN:
- 503 : (13)Permission denied: mod_wsgi (pid=10472): Unable to
connect to WSGI daemon process 'web2py' on '/etc/httpd/logs/wsgi.
7370.102.1.sock' after multiple attempts. ... received when

- 403 : client denied by server configuration: /home/siteadmin/web2py/
wsgihandler.pywelcome ... received when
visitinghttp://example.com/web2py-apps/welcome/default/index/
WHAT WORKS:
- mod_wsgi works with a simple hello.py WSGI script.
- Running web2py by running python web2py.py works.
- Running web2py via wsgiref.simple_server.WSGIServer, started by my
own script, works.
ALREADY TRIED:
- I started with the Apache configuration in the book
(http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/11#mod_wsgi) modified so that
it runs in a subdirectory (i.e., /web2py-apps/ instead of /).
That gave me the above errors.
- Verified that mod_wsgi is getting Python 2.7.
- Tried temporarily setting it to live in the server's root. Same
errors.
- Checked that Apache can read the directory where web2py lives.
- Verified that mod_wsgi works and web2py works. I just can't make
them work together.
- Looked at Graham Dumpleton's blog posts and other pages about this.
CONFIGURATION:
WSGIPythonHome /usr/local/python/python2.7

QUESTIONS:
- Has anybody ever gotten web2py working in a subdirectory
(i.e.,http://example.com/web2py-apps/welcome) with mod_wsgi? Some things I
read while searching indicated this isn't possible without intensive
customization.
- Has anybody ever gotten web2py working with CentOS? Some things I
read while searching indicated web2py doesn't work well with CentOS.
One person changed providers for that reason.
- Would mod_proxy be more fool-proof? Given the time and frustration
spent trying to make it work with mod_wsgi, I am reluctant to try a
totally different strategy unless there's reason to believe it would
be easier.
I am totally new to Web2py and I was very impressed when running
locally. Right now, I'm frustrated. When I got started, it looked
like this was going to be much easier. Maybe just bad luck that I
happen to be on a CentOS server. I don't know. Anyway, if anybody
could give me a pointer, I'd really appreciate it. If I ever get it
working, I'll definitely write back with a HOWTO.
Thanks,

[web2py] Re: Making my own decorator...
Yes, I think a decorator is supposed to take a function (or callable) as an
argument and return a callable. In general, you should be able to chain
decorators.
Also, I assume you don't actually want to decorate your 'index' function
with your 'is_in_conference' decorator -- otherwise, it looks like it could
generate an infinite loop of redirects when 'current_conference' is not in
the session (because it will keep redirecting back to 'index', which will
prompt another redirect via the decorator).

[web2py] Another beginner looking for AJAX-y help
Hi, I'm trying to design an application to manage a wine-tasting party. Each invitee can bring guests. They're in a tasters table. Each invitee and guest(s) brings a bottle of wine. The details of each wine are in a wines table. Many tasters to one wine. And finally a scores table with rows consisting of a taster ID, a wine ID and a score. (I may implement a regions table as well.) For the registration, I'd like to have a form that asks for a taster (name only) and the wine they're bringing (wine name, vintage, etc, etc). But I want a [+] icon next to the taster that adds another taster to be linked to the same wine being entered into the form... So far, I don't have much beyond a working model, listed below.

The tricky part is going to be the controller logic and how to process a second taster if one exists. I would suggest getting that working first with a static form. You're going to need to insert a custom ield and then do a db insert if it is populated. Then, it's just a matter of showing and hiding the field. Something like this: http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/10#Conditional-Fields-in-Forms

Congratulations! I'm really fond of the web2py framework. In fact, after having used both web2py and django, I am very biased towards web2py. I think that you simply *get* it, and you did a excellent job, and you keep on doing great work. But I think that this has to be taken with extreme caution: What does this *really* say about web2py? Most of all, beware: I think that a very big pro for django is that in stackoverflow.com there are 16k questions on Django, so this may mean that a lot of questions get answered there instead of being asked in the django mailing list.

[web2py] Re: mod_wsgi + CentOS + web2py in subdirectory = possible?
Have you checked out the fedora script? Not to use but to observe some of the steps and configs? This looks promising. Thanks! Until now, I didn't realize CentOS and Fedora were closely related. I'll see if there are any configurations in there that can solve this. Thank you for the tip! If I figure it out, I'll write back with a HOWTO. Are you able to get it working *not* in a sub-directory? No, it doesn't work even as the root. I only mentioned it because it's a requirement and I saw people in other forums who had problems making web2py work in a subdirectory. I looked at centos initially but went elsewhere pretty quick. Ubuntu FTW! Totally agree! I put up with CentOS because I like the provider. It's a small company with solid service (human and network) and a good deal on VPS hosting. I've used them for 11 years.

However, The result of http://184.82.233.163/phpbb/index.html is not the same with the result of fetch(http://184.82.233.163/phpbb/ index.html) I don't know why.

[web2py] a few comments on session handling
i'm making a few observations as i'm debugging my app. They might reflect my lack of understanding of how web2py works. Anyway, a few thoughts + It appears session.forget() (as mentioned numerous times in the book) should be session.forget(response). I have used session.forget() for a long time, thinking it does what I wanted it to do; it turns out that what I need is session.forget(response). If my understanding is correct on this issue, I think the book ought to be corrected !!! + I feel uneasy with the current way of session handling. This mostly has to do with functions that take longer periods of time to run. They lock up sessions. To get around this, it seems you have to forget sessions at the right place. For example: def foo(): session.forget(response) time.sleep(60) However, what this function foo does is simply sleeping. In other words, it locks up session for nothing. Clearly, session is a critical piece of data and it ought to be synchronized carefully. But I think the current policy of locking session can be improved. Instead of locking by default unless explicitly forgetting, we require locking *only if* sessions is saved/written/modified. Processes that do not modify sessions should not lock it; as did foo above, case in point. It seems currently the semaphore is placed right at the beginning of the function, even though the better thing is placing it just right before session is modified and saved. Typically, a long-running function spends its time mostly doing some computation and not touching sessions at all. There is no need for it to acquire the lock during its entire time of execution. Further, processes/functions that do not modify sessions should be allow to read sessions. I could be wrong, but I think much of these synchronization can be taken care of by storing sessions in a separate database. We can use SQLite (for example), which locks only when being written to, but allows large numbers of concurrent reads.

What is the difference? Could be that the web server sends a different response based on something like the USER-AGENT.

[web2py] router change: map_hyphen default
The default setting for map_hyphen in the parametric router has been changed from True to False in the trunk, and will show up in the next stable release. This is to make the default setting the same as having no router at all. If you're using URL hyphen mapping now, just add map_hyphen=True to the BASE router dict, and you won't see any change when you update. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can probably ignore this message safely.
