[web2py] Using cxfreeze for creating web2py exe with custom libraries
Hello all,
I have been looking at using cxfreeze to create a web2py standalone
exe with custom libraries added in. Attached is the script used - Can
be used if you want to repackage web2py's windows exe adding in custom
libraries.
One of the major advantages of using cxfreeze for creating the
standalone exe is the avoidance of the need for copying MSVCR90.dll
to create the exe [ needed by py2exe -
http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial#Step52 ]. This allows for
easy building of the standalone exe with python 2.7.
Massimo:
The quit function in gluon/widget.py needs the sys.exit replaced by
sys.exit(0) for the proper exit when using cxfreeze to create a
standalone exe. i.e line 325 of gluon/widget.py needs to be replaced
with sys.exit(0) . I would be grateful if you could make the change.
Best Regards,
Praneeth

Re: [web2py] Building web2py binary for windows with extra libs
Hello Syed, It is possible for you to rebuild the web2py exe adding in your required libraries. The following links might be of help: 1) http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/browser/static/scripts/tools/standalone_exe.py 2) https://groups.google.com/d/topic/web2py/Lirvj_J8q1U/discussion Regards, Praneeth IRC: lifeeth On Fri, Aug 5, 2011 at 5:13 AM, Syed Mushtaq syed1.mush...@gmail.com wrote: Hi , I have an app that I want to ship as a windows binary .

We fixed a few more bugs (strangely most of them preexisting 1.96.1).
We also addressed two security issues as I will explain later in this
email:
here is am reporting the 1.96.1 changelog with some additions
Changelog:
- from gluon import * imports in every python module a web2py
environment (A, DIV,..SQLFORM, DAL, Field,...) including
current.request, current.response, current.session, current.T,
current.cache, thanks Jonathan.
- conditional models in
models/controller/a.py and models/controller/function/a.py
- from mymodule import *, looks for mymodule in applications/thisapp/
modules first and then in sys.path. No more need for local_import.
Thanks Pierre.
- usage of generic.* views is - by default - restricted to localhost
for security. This can be changed in a granular way with:
response.generic_patterns=['*']. This is a slight change of behavior
for new app but a major security fix.
- all applications have cas 2.0 provider at http://.../user/cas/login
- all applications can delegate to login to external provider
Auth(...,cas_provider='http://.../other_app/default/user/cas')
- A(...,callback=URL(...),larget='id') does Ajax
- URL(...,user_signature=True), LOAD(...,user_signature=True) can
sign
urls and @auth.requires_signature() will check the signature for any
decorated action.
- DAL(...,migrate_enabled=False) to disable all migrations
- DAL(...,fake_migrate_all=True) to rebuild all corrupted metadata
- new DAL metadata format (databases/*.table)
- DAL(...,adapter_arg={}) allows support for alternate drivers
- DAL now allows circular table defintions
- DAL(..,auto_import=True) automatically imports tables from metadata
without need to db.define_table(...)s.
- new alterante syntax for inner joins: db(...).select(join=...)
- experimental cubrid database support
- DAL 'request_tenant' fields are special, the altomatically filer
all
records based on their default value.
- db._common_fields.append(Field('owner')) allows to add fields to
ALL
tables
- DAL ignores repeated fields with same names
- web2py_ajax.html is more modular, thanks Anthony
- request.is_local
- request.is_http
- new sessions2trash.py thanks Jim Karsten
- corrupted cache files are automatically deleted
- new simpler API gluon.contrib.AuthorizeNet.procss(...)
- fixed recaptcha (as they released new API)
- messages in validators have default internationalization
- No more Auth(globals(),db), just Auth(db). Same for Crud and
Service.
- scripts/access.wsgi allows apache+mod_wsgi to delegate
authentication of any URL to any web2py app
- json now supports T(...)
- scripts/setup-web2py-nginx-uwsgi-ubuntu.sh
- web2py HTTP responses now set: X-Powered-By: web2py, thanks Bruno
- mostly fixed generic.pdf. You can view any page in PDF if you have
pdflatex installed or if your html follows the pyfpdf convention.
- auth.settings.extra_fields['auth_user'].append(Field('country'))
allows to extend auth_* tables without need of definiting a custom
auth_* table. Must be placed before auth.define_tables()
- {{=response.toolbar()}} to help you debug applications
- web based shell now supports object modifications (but no
redefinitions of non-serializable types)
- jQuery 1.6.1
- more secure uuid function to protect sessions form cryptographic
attacks
- auto logout of appadmin
- Lots of bug fixes
## Security wanring
This release fixes two security issues:
1) web2py used random to generate uuid. This is mostly fine but it was
technically possible for an attacker to retrieve a lot of session
uuids, extrapolate information about the pseudo-random-generator and
use the information to guess somebody else's session. Our new
contributor and security expert David Wager, spotted this problem and
suggested rewriting the web2py uuid function used for generating
session names. The new function uses /dev/urandom as entropy source
and falls back to the old method when the entropy source is not
available, issuing a warning.
2) appadmin uses admin authentication but failed to detect expires
sessions (60minutes). This has now been corrected.

Re: [web2py] Add gluon to global python path
You can do a pip install web2py that should put gluon in the global path. Try it in a virtualenv. -- Praneeth IRC: lifeeth On Fri, Apr 29, 2011 at 11:06 AM, luckysmack luckysm...@gmail.com wrote: Pretty much like the title says. This is also for things like when i open up a i/b/python shell, it would be cool to just be able to run 'import gluon' or 'from gluon import foo'. Im sure this would also have other benefits as well, but im not sure. I tried doing 'import sys' and 'sys.path.append(/srv/sites/web2py/gluon)' but that didnt seem to work. i also tried it without the/gluon part. Is it worth it to do this? otherwise i can get the effect by opening a terminal and going to the web2py directory, opening the python shell and importing like that. This culd also be handy when running python scripts that are in different places on the system and wanting to be able to import something from gluon.

Re: [web2py] MySQL, migration, and lower()
1) If you have no other schema changes a simpler solution would be to
just change all your table names manually to lower.
2) Hook the new version to a blank db and let it generate a dummy sql
table. swap the table with the one you changed the table names in step
1 - after turning off web2py i.e.

Hi Everybody,
Yesterday evening I ran into some issues updating an app from 1.89.6
to 1.94.5 -- specifically with case sensitivity in migrating tables.
This occurs on an ubuntu ec2 instance, running mysql as installed by
'aptitude install mysql-server' and accepting defaults.
An example.
The field is defined in models with
Field('splatToken'),
The .table file before the migration contains
p9
sS'splatToken'
The .table file after the first execution contains
p9
sS'splattoken'
The next execution yields an exception in DAL.py migrate_table
triggered off this test:
and not isinstance(table[key].type, SQLCustomType) \
I was able to bypass the issue and continue by removing the .lower()
calls in the sql_fields* assignments up above.
So, my app is running as it needs to be, but this really feels like a
band-aid and incorrect solution. In searching this groups archives,
I've seen some similar issues, but they all seem to have been resolved
a few months ago.
Advice? Thoughts? Questions?
Cheers,

We have used http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~flavour/sahana-eden/trunk/view/head:/static/scripts/tools/standalone_exe.py To build custom exes of web2py with certain modules added in.

It's working but currently is including a bunch of windows API files in the dist directory, so it would NOT be appropriate for public distribution as-is without removing those files first (Danger, Danger Will Robinson licensing issues!). I'll see if I can figure out how to exclude them in the first place or at least automatically remove them with a secondary batch script.
