[web2py] data processing conditional on form input

[Simon Andersson]

Hey guys I have a relatively simple question to ask:

I have a form storing my input in an sqlite database.
Based on the response in the form I want to choose a certain file stored on 
the server.
How do I go about writing the if statement?

eg

db = DAL('sqlite://storage.sqlite')
db.define_table('dbname', Field('file', requires=IS_IN_SET(['file1','file2']
))) 




Then I want to write something conditional on the input being eg file1

def processing():
if db.dbname(request.args(0)).file == file1:
pathDir = /path/to/file1
else:
pathDir = /path/to/file2

What should I use to tell the processing to use the current row in the 
database? How do I tell the server to start processing once the form has 
been submitted?

Thanks!

[web2py] What is the recommended way to translate dynamic contents in a multilingual website?

[at]

Hi,

For small web-applications I've used T() and it worked well. But for larger 
websites with dynamic contents if T() is used, then translations files can 
grow extremely big. So what is the recommended way to translate dynamic 
contents in a multilingual website?
If T() is used, then those translation files can grow extremely big, since 
description for example can contain hundreds of words for each project. 
What do you think about this?
Thanks,

[web2py] Re: How can I access functions from multiple files in the controllers directory?

[黄祥]

just an idea why not put it on modules?
e.g.
*controllers/default.py*
import file1

a = file1.function1(x, y)
b = file1.function2(y, z)

*modules/file1.py*
def function1(value1, value2):
code
return

def function2(value1, value2):
code
return

best regards,

[web2py] How can I access functions from multiple files in the controllers directory?

['tomt' via web2py-users]

Hi,

In the controllers directory I wanted to define some functions in another 
file.
I had hoped to import the functions to make them available to default.py but
I haven't been able to get this to work. 

I'm hoping that someone can point out my error, and possibly a solution.

In the controllers directory there is default.py and file1.py

--- default.py ---
...
from file1 import *
...
a = function1(x,y)
...
b = function2(y,z)
...

--- file1.py ---
...
def function1(value1,value2):
code
return

def function2(value1,value2):
code
return

ImportError: No module named file1

(I defined __init__.py in controllers, but this didn't help)

Any pointers would be appreciated - Tom

My first thought is that you define myschedule in your model file(s), and 
then in whatever controller calls your module, add it to current and pass 
it that way, or make it an argument of your module's function.  I don't see 
any reason NOT to use queue_task, and inserting directly into the table is 
subject Change Without Notice.

Anaconda has some IDE features, though it's meant more as a numbers-kids'

Available on Win, Lin, and Mac.

I'm supposed to use it for a data science class, but so far I've just

[web2py] How to start a scheduler task from a module?

[Martin Weissenboeck]

I want to start a task from a module. (The module contains a small
smtp-server.)
I could it with a db.scheduler_task.insert(...), but I want to use
myschedule.queue_task(...)

​What would be the correct way to define "myschedule" ? Something like

myschedule = Scheduler(current.db)​

Re: [web2py] Re: web2py for windows server. IIS or Nginx?

[Jim S]

I think the thread you referenced was one discussing deployment on Ubuntu 
where yes, nginx/uwsgi is preferred.  But, the Windows environment is 
different (in my opinion) since the Windows nginx is still considered 
'beta'.   I wouldn't feel that comfortable using it.  (that said, I do use 
many other 'beta' projects)

If Apache/mod_wsgi is really frowned upon, should it be noted in the book?

@omi - I migrated from Windows/Apache/mod_wsgi a while back to 
Ubuntu/nginx/uwsgi.  I think that at that time I switched from using pyodbc 
to pypyodbc.  I too access MS SQL servers from my ubuntu box using ODBC 
(along with IBM AS/400 databases).  It works very well for me.

 To my knowledge, nginx is not considered 'production ready' on 
 Windows.  See the first paragraph here:  
 http://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html

 I think Apache is the way to go.   
 http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/13/deployment-recipes#Apache-and-mod_wsgi

 For me though, I've moved all of my production servers to Ubuntu with 
 nginx / uwsgi.

Re: [web2py] Re: web2py for windows server. IIS or Nginx?

[Richard Vézina]

I would say, we don't not don't support it, we just don't maintain a web2py
setup script with Apache... I think the decision was to reduce the number
of setup script to the bare minium to only the one web2py-devs are willing
to maintain...

That been said, I am sure that if you or someone else take owner ship to
update and maintain Apache setup script because it important for you we
will bring it back in the scripts folder... But I wouldn't take that path
before someone demonstrate commitment to the task as we don't want to get
back stuff that will not be maintain in years in the repo... I guess you
can set your own github repo to demonstrate your commitment and help the
community though, and it could be reference somewhere appropriate in the
book.

If you have a working Apache configuration, that's an argument for staying 
with it [caveats follow].  Part of the deprecating is because Apache 
configuration is delicate, complicated, and [reportedly] the documentation 
isn't always helpful.  If you're beyond that stage, that's one objection 
overcome.  The caveats: there is some concern that Apache security updates 
may be frequent and patching may be delicate and complicated [it's been 
around long enough that may have an "organic" structure].

I think Niphlod has run both IIS and nginx on Windows, and nginx on his 
linux systems, but I'd have to go back through his posts to be sure of that.

 Hi all,

 Someone pointed out to us that web2py has a .git file in

 your project as a git repo.  Is there a specific reason for it to be
 there?  Or is it an artefact of the packaging procedure?  We're

 removing it from the source that we install for users on

Re: [web2py] .git file in gluon/packages/dal/.git

[Giles Thomas]

Thanks, Richard.  

Regarding why -- I'm talking about the version that will be installed by 
default when someone creates a web2py app on the hosting platform my 
company provides, PythonAnywhere -- which would also affect the version 
used by the "Try it now online" link on the front page of www.web2py.com. 
 I agree that doing version control the web2py way is probably more 
sensible than making the whole web2py folder a git repo, but if people do 
want to follow the git route, it would be better if we didn't have that 
"trap" in there for them :-)


All the best,

Giles

Re: [web2py] .git file in gluon/packages/dal/.git

[Richard Vézina]

Sorry, you right in there is gluon/packages/dal/.git, I thought you were
speaking of a .git/ folder at the root of web2py which there is not...

I guess you can delete it if it cause problem, but if you have issue with
it, it means you try to init you git repo over the entire web2py folder?

Why don't you just version control your app? which is what we usually do...

Thanks

Richard

 Hi all,

[web2py] Re: web2py for windows server. IIS or Nginx?

[Omi Chiba]

Thank you. I thought the Massimo's comment below and he  also mentioned 
somewhere we don't want to support Apache anymore... that's why I was 
nervous. I was thinking to your direction (Moving to Ubuntu) but I use 
pyodbc to connect Microsoft SQL Server and DB2, also python-ldap.. so not 
sure if it works the same way.


"P.S. I stand by Niphlod. He did not say anything offending and his comment 
was insightful. We do not recommend apache+mod_wsgi because there are 
better ways (nginx+uwsgi)."

[web2py] convert request.vars to set default value in a custom .factory() form

[Richard]

Hello,

I have an high customized SQLFORM.factory() form... I set default value for 
the update form for which I have no problem with values types as they get 
out of the database... But in case I want to emulate keepvalue feature with 
this form I need to pass value to request.vars which I need to set as 
default... The problem is that all value are string when I get them and I 
need to populate many fields and would greatly prefer not have to handle 
each fields manually one by one but instead do it dynamically so if I had 
field to the table I don't have to add it... So I am searching a way to 
convert appropriately value for each field type... I could use the approach 
proposed in the answer accepted hear 
: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7402573/use-type-information-to-cast-values-stored-as-strings

I there surely such a thing in the web2py internal... I thought 
_filter_fields() would do it, but it only filter field that are member of a 
table, it doesn't act over the value of the field... I thought of using 
requires/validator, but I am not sure how to use them.

Thanks

Richard

Re: [web2py] .git file in gluon/packages/dal/.git

[Giles Thomas]

This is in a download from web2py.com -- specifically, the "Source code" 
download from http://www.web2py.com/init/default/download.

Interestingly, gluon/packages/dal/.git is a file rather than a directory. 
 It contains this:

gitdir: ../../../.git/modules/gluon/packages/dal



All the best,

Giles

[web2py] Re: web2py for windows server. IIS or Nginx?

[Jim S]

I haven't seen anything about Apache no longer supported.  Did I miss 
something?

To my knowledge, nginx is not considered 'production ready' on Windows. 
 See the first paragraph here:  http://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html

I think Apache is the way to go. 
  
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/13/deployment-recipes#Apache-and-mod_wsgi

For me though, I've moved all of my production servers to Ubuntu with nginx 
/ uwsgi.

[web2py] Re: DEADLOCKs between two or more scheduler worker

[Erwn Ltmann]

Hi Niphold,

you are right: I have an extra database select in order to get the list of 
dead workers.

Usually I have four workers for example. They are static and shouldn't 
terminate often. In this case, I call only once the database in order to 
get the list of dead workers and I assume this list is always empty. In 
this case nothing is to do. The inner part of my condition will be 
important very rare and because of that I can ignore this within my runtime 
complexity calculation. In our original code we call always twice the 
question how many dead workers there are (update and delete). My suggestion 
reflects a runtime rate of 1 for 2.

Anyway, if I run the worker with my suggested extra condition I could 
eliminate the deadlock cases. This works very well because the extra 
condition. I am happy :)

Thx a lot.
Erwn

Do you download from Github or web2py.com? The later you shouldn't have
this issue... If you get web2py from git, it normal that you have .git/ for
web2py and for dal as dal have been extract from web2py and is a project of
it own so it is include in the web2py repository as a submodule.
