As Anthony pointed out rightly, if you need that module for a specific
app, then put it in modules folder.
If that module is required to be imported in other apps as well, then
put it in site-packages folder.

Thank you, I tested it and it works both ways.
Just to confirm:
If I put a code in /modules folder is it imported every time
on each function request?
I want it imported on demand only when I need it.
No. code in models is executed at every request. Code in modules is
importent only once and cached. It is executed when functions in the
module are called (as in normal python).

Thank you , Massimo!
Hi Vineet,
Thank you! Absolutely - you understood my question properly.
It seems that solution is very simple, I am so overwhelmed
with this porting that sometimes I oversee the simplest
solutions ;)
So if I put it under site-packages like this:
site-packages/models
site-packages/definitions
I
You should be able to do the same from the application's /modules folder.
Use site-packages if it's a module that needs to be accessed by multiple
applications (or possibly by other Python programs).

@Constantine Vasil
I had a similat task earlier.
I am using a third party library named 'DABO'.
Placed that in 'site-packages' folder within 'web2py' (source)
imported that in models controllers as required.
(Before that, I had tried placing it in 'modules' folder, but could

You can move code to modules if you don't want it all executed on every
request. In that case, you'll either have to use the 'current' object or
pass global objects (such as 'db') to your module functions and methods.

BTW, do you have a large number of model definitions? Have you measured the
performance hit? It might not be that big.
Another option is conditional

models that execute only for a particular controller and even a

They are a lot of model definitions - it is a big project which I am porting

OK let put it in reverse - how you would do this (GAE)/
in default.py
myaccount = MyAccount.get_profile(user_id)
Please note that 'in module'
root = MyAccountRoot.get_profile()
does not works - it says 'not available' or something.
