hello one and all, i'd like to save and recover Storage instances to a text blob field in a database. converting to the string is not hard to store it in the field. recovering it back to a Storage instance is other issue, especially when they're embedded Storage objects in the main Storage object. i've tried from a script file not under a web2py application as:
#!/usr/bin/env python3 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from sys import path, argv path.append('/opt/web2py_apps/web2py/') from gluon import * from gluon.storage import Storage if 1: ss = Storage(s='main') ss.happy = 'yes happy' #ss.status = Storage(s1="1status1", s2="2status2") print("1:::", ss, type(ss)) ss = repr(ss) print("2:::", ss, type(ss)) #xglobal, xlocal = globals(), { } #eval(ss, xglobal, xlocal) ss = eval(ss) print("3:::", ss, type(ss)) exit() with output: 1::: <Storage {'s': 'main', 'happy': 'yes happy'}> <class 'gluon.storage.Storage'> 2::: <Storage {'s': 'main', 'happy': 'yes happy'}> <class 'str'> Traceback (most recent call last): File "./web2py_Storage.py", line 17, in <module> ss = eval(ss) File "<string>", line 1 <Storage {'s': 'main', 'happy': 'yes happy'}> ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax any ideas how to make this work smoothly? thank you in advance, lucas -- 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.
