Massimo my suggest was conditionals, Bruno the way I handle mine there is no repeating of model definitions.
db_tables.py # define all tables in a function this file should be out side of the models directory def define_tables(db, tables=[], migrate=False, fake_migrate=True) models/global.py <- Use define_tables() to define all tables required by all controllers models/controler/global.py <- Use define_tables() to add more tables used only by this controller but all actions in this controller models/controler/action/db.py <- Use define_tables() for tables that have not been defined yet but are required for this action. This situation works pretty good without having all the import's inside controllers :D On Tue, Jul 17, 2012 at 11:29 AM, Massimo Di Pierro < massimo.dipie...@gmail.com> wrote: > There is an old proposal from Mariano to address that we should revisit > that.
