I managed to transfer a very big app initially developed for Django+GAE+JQuery Mobile to web2py. Managed to set up my Eclipse environment to work with web2py and now I can debug my web2py + GAE hybrid app. Works excellent.
The issues I see is because my app is big it runs slower than on my former configuration. After extensive debugging I see web2py executes in every request the .py files in models folder. Because there are a lot of table definitions this slows down execution considerably. Researching what to do I found the following article very useful: "Optimize your web2py app using the new import method" http://martin.tecnodoc.com.ar/default/tag?name=import Then I learned about custom imports. I found the following bug in the example above: In def define_auth(self): db.auth_user.first_name.writable = db.auth_user.first_name.readable = False db.auth_user.last_name.writable = db.auth_user.last_name.readable =False auth.messages.verify_password_comment = '' does not works, but works in init_auth after self.auth_def() #the auth definition Is this is bug in web2py?
