The command server gives you performance close to the internal calls, and there may be a python flavor of it. However, it may not make sense if you can't keep the connection open, and I'm not sure how web2py would deal with that in a non-DAL situation.
The internal API, unlike the user-visible commands and the command server, is not guaranteed to be consistent from release to release. Bundled extensions are guaranteed to be updated to match; third-party extensions need to be watching for the RC candidates. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
