[web2py] Building a non-trivial SOAP service using web2py
Hello all,
I'm looking at using web2py to build a SOAP service to work as a test
harness for an infrastructure upgrade we're planning. Unfortunately, all
the web2py SOAP info I've found has been trivial services such as adding 2
numbers together - in my case, I need my SOAP server to be able to do
something more complicated.
The sort of complexity I need to build is something like
http://www.webservicex.com/stockquote.asmx?WSDL
When I query this service from suds, the code looks something like:
>>> import suds
>>> url = 'http://www.webservicex.com/stockquote.asmx?WSDL'
>>> client = suds.client.Client(url)
>>> print client
Suds ( https://fedorahosted.org/suds/ ) version: 0.4 GA build:

[web2py] Using multiprocessing in web2py
Hello everyone,
I've read through the message archive and there seems to be a fairly clear
message: don't using the multiprocessing module within web2py.
However, I'm hoping I might have a use case that's a bit different...
I've got an app that basically does analytics on moderately large datasets.
I've got a number of controller methods that look like the following:
def my_method():
# Note: all data of interest has previously been loaded into
'session.data'
results = []
d = local_import('analysis')
results += d.my_1st_analysis_method(session)
results += d.my_2nd_analysis_method(session, date=date)
results += d.my_3rd_analysis_method(session)
results += d.my_4th_analysis_method(session, date=date)
results += d.my_5th_analysis_method(session, date=date)
return dict(results=results)
The problem I have is that all of the methods in my 'analysis' module, when
run in sequence as per the above, simply take too long to execute and give
me a browser timeout. I can mitigate this to some extent by extending the
timeout on my browser, but I need to be able to use an iPad's Safari browser
and it appears to be impossible to increase the browser timeout on the iPad.
Even if it can be done, that approach seems pretty ugly and I'd rather not
have to do it. What I really want to do is run all of these analysis
methods *simultaneously*, capturing the results of each analysis_method into
a single variable once they've finished.
All of the methods within the 'analysis' module are designed to run
concurrently - although they reference session variables, I've consciously
avoided updating any session variables within any of these methods. While
all the data is stored in a database, it's loaded into a session variable
(session.data) before my_method is called; this data never gets changed as
part of the analysis.
Is it reasonable to replace the above code with something like this:
def my_method():
import multiprocessing
d = local_import('analysis')
tasks = [
('job': 'd.my_1st_analysis_method', 'params': ['session']),
('job': 'd.my_2nd_analysis_method', 'params': ['session',
'date=date']),
('job': 'd.my_3rd_analysis_method', 'params': ['session']),
('job': 'd.my_4th_analysis_method', 'params': ['session',
'date=date']),
('job': 'd.my_5th_analysis_method', 'params': ['session',
'date=date']),
]
task_queue = multiprocessing.Queue()
for t in tasks:
task_queue.put(t['job'])
result_queue = multiprocessing.Queue()
for t in tasks:
args = (arg for arg in t['params'])
worker = multiprocessing.Worker(work_queue, result_queue, args=args)
worker.start()
results = []
while len(results) < len(tasks):
result = result_queue.get()
results.append(result)
return dict(results=results)
Note: I haven't tried anything using the multiprocessing module before, so
if you've got any suggestions as to how to improve the above code, I'd
greatly appreciate it...
Is introducing multiprocessing as I've outlined above a reasonable way to
optimise code in this scenario, or is there something in web2py that makes
this a bad idea? If it's a bad idea, do you have any suggestions what else
I could try?
Thanks in advance

[web2py] Suggested web2py layout for iPhone/iPad?
Hello all, Is there a suggested web2py layout for rendering on an iPhone or iPad?

Thanks in advance Dave M.
[web2py] How to upload/process data file in GAE?
Hello group, This seems like a particularly stupid question, but I just can't work out how to do it... It's not a web2py-specific issue; I just happen to be using web2py. I've got an app underway where I need to upload a set of large-ish (up to 1Mb) CSV files initially, then small updates (<1kb) periodically after that. Running web2py on a non-GAE environment, I could just upload the file, have web2py save it to disk, then process the disk copy once it finishes uploading. I want to parse the file in its entirety to ensure there were no problems with it before loading it into the database. I could happily process the uploaded files via cron; the data isn't particularly time-sensitive. However, with GAE, there's no file system access, so I can't upload the file and save it before processing it. I'd rather not process the file without first parsing it, if there's a reasonable way to do so. Has anyone dealt with this problem before? Is there a simple/elegant solution that I'm missing? Thanks in advance Dave M.
Re: [web2py] Re: Learning Management System survey
My mother's a teacher, who has "challenges" with the ownership of the content she creates. Legally, she owns the content, and should control where and how it's made available; however (as I understand it), current systems act as though the school owns all content *and* are structured such that copies of the content need to be made in order for it to be used in separate areas within the application. The system used at her school essentially assumes that the ownership of the content transfers to the school at the moment the content is entered into the system, which is legally doubtful at best. I'd regard it as at least HIGHLY desirable that content created by users of the system can be encrypted using a public/private key pair by the user, who holds a private key that is (optionally?) not stored on the system itself. The content creator should then control who has access to the content, and for how long, and control should be granted only after the private key is entered; it should NOT be accessible to anybody at the whim of the system manager (or school principal). Following that logic further, the mechanisms for viewing the content should presumably make it difficult to copy/paste the content; maybe locked-down PDFs is a sensible format, but I'm not sure... At the very least, if a system manager is going to make user-generated content broadly accessible, then there should be a warning displayed along the lines of "You're about to make this content available to people not explicitly approved by the content creator. Please check the legal implications of doing this before proceeding". Not sure if my mother's situation is unusual or not, but it's definitely an issue in jurisdictions where content creators own the content they create, which I assume would be the norm.

[web2py] Looking for web2py AJAX "recipes"
Hello all, I've got a bunch of AJAX pages to create, with tasks like: - pick a selection from a drop-down list - based on that selection, populate another drop-down list - start typing in a text field - with each character typed, do a search in a DB table for fields matching the string typed and display options for selection (not quite AJAX, but close) - enter a date in a date field - constrain other date fields on the same form so that they must be either before or after the first-entered date - allow someone to enter a long random string into a field, or press a "Generate random string" button to have the string populated with suitable random characters Is there anything like an "AJAX recipes" page for web2py out there? Googling didn't come up with anything useful, but I thought some of these are pretty common tasks and someone may have gathered code samples together to demonstrate how it is done in web2py. Thanks and regards Dave M.

[web2py] Documentation on moving common code into modules?
Hello all, I'm at early days in my 1st serious web2py project, and I've got a few bits of code that are common to multiple different controllers. I want to move these code blocks into their own separate code module so they can be maintained at a single place, but I can't find any documentation about how to structure such a module nor how to call it from my controllers. Any tips or URL pointers? Thanks in advance Dave M.

[web2py:35457] Re: Working with NoSQLs?
OK, I've found one big plus of MongoDB vs. CouchDB. It looks fairly straightforward to run MongoDB from a USB key, whereas it's pretty painful to do so with CouchDB. As I frequently move stuff between multiple workplaces, that's a very big tick for me.

Thanks for the reply Massimo, The main reason I've used CouchDB to date was that it was the first of this class of databases that I stumbled upon. I've found it extremely powerful and a good fit for what I was doing, but it may be that others such as MongoDB are as good or better - I simply found something that worked for me and stuck with it, without bothering to investigate other options.

[web2py:35414] Working with NoSQLs?
Hello everyone, I've done a bunch of work recently with CouchDB on Ruby, and now there's an interesting article on using Python with Redis at http://simonwillison.net/2009/Oct/22/redis/ Is there any work being done to have web2py work with these, or other, "NoSQL" databases? Right now, I really don't have time to look at what would be involved and contribute myself - something to do with having way too much work to finish before kids, school holidays, Xmas all demand 100% of my attention ;-> - but I'm interested to know whether anyone is actively looking at it.

[web2py:34631] Re: Bulk loading data into web2py database?
Thanks guys, I'm on my way now! Next question - is there a standard directory under my application that I should use to hold these scripts? At the moment, I'm putting them under web2py/applications/my_app/private, but I'm not sure that that's the appropriate path. Regards monch1962 2009/11/5 mdipierro > > even better.

[web2py:34561] Bulk loading data into web2py database?
Hello group, I'm just getting started with web2py, so please be gentle... Now that I've got a model defined within web2py, I need to load up a huge pile of reference data for my application - we're talking several hundred thousand records. Is there a way I can write Python code that runs from the command line, but can access web2py's database abstraction layer? I figure it must be possible, but I've tried Googling and come up empty.
