I'm playing around with web2py for the first time on a project that is using GAE to accept and process inbound email. When mail comes in to GAE, you need to tell it what piece of code to run in your app.yaml to handle it:
- url: /_ah/mail/.+ script: applications/myapp/modules/incoming.py login: admin So my first question is where should I put the code that will handle this mail? Is it a module? A controller? I based my rough prototype on the code from Google (http:// code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/receivingmail.html), which obviously has no knowledge of web2py. However, in that code I want to store some data to the DB, using the model that I've defined in my db.py file. Unfortunately, I'm getting the "NameError: global name 'db' is not defined" message when I try to do a query on the db. The same code works fine if I stick it in the default controller of my app, so I'm curious what I need to do to make the two worlds connect (i.e. requests that come in through GAE inbound mail, and the rest of my app). -Mike
