I am trying to call this module that contains a series of
import_csv_file statement like so:
from my model, db_history.py I call up a module to import a series of
csv files:
initialize=local_import('initialize')
initialize.fillup(db)
my modules/fillup.py looks like this:
import os
def fillup():
try:
db.question.import_from_csv_file(open(os.path.join(request.folder,'private/db_question.csv'),'r'))
except Exception, e:
print 'oops: %s' % e #XXX
raise e
...
Then I get: "NameError: global name 'request' is not defined"
What's weird is that those import statements run from the shell. They
also work fine if I put them in the model that calls it. But, I'm hoping
to database initialization by CSV from a single module file.
I'm pretty sure I'm missing something here. Anyone?
