Hi ! I'm working with web2py and for some reason web2py seems to fail to notice when code has changed in certain cases. I can't really narrow it down, but from time to time changes in the code are not reflected, web2py obviously has the old version cached somewhere. The only thing that helps is quitting web2py and restarting it (i'm u...
In a web2py view, how do I comment out server-side code? In ASP.NET, I can surround any HTML or code tags with <%-- and --%> and that block will not be compiled or sent to the client. Velocity does the same thing with #* and *#. Is there an equivalent in web2py? ASP.NET <div> <p><%=foo.bar%></p> <%-- don't print twice! <p><%...

What is the recommended way to log application-specific messages in web2py? I found the documentation on HTTP logging, but I'm thinking more of messages for debugging and tracking. Should I simply use the logging module in each separate controller file? Is there a central place in which I could initialize a logger that can be shared b...

I'm trying to setup web2py on my Fedora server, and the instructions, written for Debian, are telling me to install it in the /users/www-data directory. I realize that Fedora uses a default 'apache' user for running Apache, and Debian uses a 'www-data' user, but there's no corresponding /users/apache directory on my machine... Here are...
I am planning to publish my site soon on Dreamhost using passenger WSGI as mentioned in the dreamhost setup documentation. My issue is that I am wanting www.mydomain.com to go directly to my new application, instead of needing to go to web2py.mydomain.com/MyApp/Default. What is the best way to solve this issue? Do I use DNS redirects ...

I would like to version control the entire system, including all python modules, web pages, and Apache config files. The files are obviously scattered across my Linux box, but I would like to be able to checkout/com...
I have dozens of tables in an existing MSSQL database all with autonumber ID primary keys, but none that are named 'id'. They are instead named PropertyID, ClientID, etc. The official documentation seems to suggest renaming each of these fields to 'id': Legacy Databases web2py can connect to legacy databases under some condi...
I'm going to develop a small web application on Gae with a registration section, login\logout and stuff like that. Since Google app Engine does not support session out of the box and i don't want to restrict access using google Accounts, i am forced to pick a Framework that offers this kind of facilities. My choices are: Web2py Djan...
I know there are tons of blogging platforms out there (Wordpress,Drupal,etc) but I want to make my own blog engine or blog platform from scratch using python as a learning tool. The idea of using Google App Engine solves the issues in hosting. Blogs relatively consumes less amount of disk space and If it scales then there's no problem of...

Specifically when working on projects where I want to make use of some specific django apps/plugins/extensions that don't yet exist in web2py.

For instance the instructions say to do this at the top of controllers: if 0: from gluon.globals import * from gluon.html import * from gluon....
I'm trying to find a way to create fixtures for my web2py application. I came across http://thadeusb.com/weblog/2010/4/21/using_fixtures_in_web2py that suggests creating a x_fixtures.py file to place all the fixtures in. The problem is that after a while, the file gets huge and a pain to navigate through. What I want to be able to do i...
