[web2py] Re: how to avoid committing sensitive data to github?
You can handle this in a number of way. Probably the easiest is just to use global variables for all your sensitive info and place them in config file. Then just add that config file to your .gitignore file.

Do people test using new email addresses that were created specifically for testing web apps? Or perhaps someone has developed a script that automatically (temporarily?) removes sensitive data before committing? How about database contents? Should files like 0.py and database folder contents simply never be committed, and made part of .gitignore? (Apart from some initial version where mail settings and stuff like settings.security_key are empty...) I want to avoid having to take manual actions before committing/pushing because I expect that sooner or later I would make mistakes. Ideas on the topic or a link to explanation welcome... p.s.

What is the recommended way to migrate from sqlite to an other DB (without

I created a Python-based course called Real Python for the Web that begins with the basics (database management, server-side and client-side programming), then moves into Flask and on to web2py. You create a number of applications and go over basic conventions/best practices. If you want, you can also learn the Python syntax as well through the first course, Real Python.

Re: [web2py] Re: onvalidation
Basic example:

Field('contract_length','string'),
Field('contract_renewal','date', writable=True, readable=True,
compute=lambda r: (r['contract_start']+r['contract_length']))
db.contact.contract_start.requires = IS_DATE(format=T('%m-%d-%Y'),
error_message='Must be MM-DD-!')
db.contact.contract_renewal.requires = IS_DATE(format=T('%m-%d-%Y'),
error_message='Must be MM-DD-!')
db.contact.contract_length.requires = IS_IN_SET(['6 months', '1 year',
'2 year's, '3 years'])
Thanks. As far as the DAL goes, I am using SQLite, and I know I can do
something like this to add a specific time period to a date by using
the following statement -
INSERT date('now','+10 day');
Is there a DAL equivalent? I didn't see anything in the book. Seems
like this would be too low of a function to be part of the DAL.

I didn't like this because the end result was a blog you couldn't actually use, there was no search features, no tagging, no commenting, no user auth, etc. I can build simple sites, so I'm not looking for an introductory course. For example, the last site I made with web2py was for my friends school with the following: -School information, schedules, location, instructors, etc -a blog like feature to post upcoming events. I posted links to only future events on the front page. This behaved similar to a blog -a blog for the owner to blog about his school or whatever else he wanted. Had an archive dropdown menu, comments were working at one point but disabled on request of the owner -2 forms for people to signup or ask questions. A pdf page can be generated based on the information provided, and a link is emailed to the owner.
