Functions required to execute app components

Note

FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY

gluon.compileapp.LOAD(c=None, f='index', args=None, vars=None, extension=None, target=None, ajax=False, ajax_trap=False, url=None, user_signature=False, timeout=None, times=1, content='loading...', post_vars=<Storage {}>, **attr)[source]

LOADs a component into the action’s document

Parameters:
  • c (str) – controller
  • f (str) – function
  • args (tuple or list) – arguments
  • vars (dict) – vars
  • extension (str) – extension
  • target (str) – id of the target
  • ajax (bool) – True to enable AJAX bahaviour
  • ajax_trap (bool) – True if ajax is set to True, traps both links and forms “inside” the target
  • url (str) – overrides c,`f`,`args` and vars
  • user_signature (bool) – adds hmac signature to all links with a key that is different for every user
  • timeout (int) – in milliseconds, specifies the time to wait before starting the request or the frequency if times is greater than 1 or “infinity”
  • times (integer or str) – how many times the component will be requested “infinity” or “continuous” are accepted to reload indefinitely the component
class gluon.compileapp.LoadFactory(environment)[source]

Bases: object

Attention: this helper is new and experimental

gluon.compileapp.build_environment(request, response, session, store_current=True)[source]

Build the environment dictionary into which web2py files are executed.

gluon.compileapp.compile_application(folder)[source]

Compiles all models, views, controller for the application in folder.

gluon.compileapp.compile_controllers(folder)[source]

Compiles all the controllers in the application specified by folder

gluon.compileapp.compile_models(folder)[source]

Compiles all the models in the application specified by folder

gluon.compileapp.compile_views(folder)[source]

Compiles all the views in the application specified by folder

gluon.compileapp.find_exposed_functions(data)[source]
gluon.compileapp.local_import_aux(name, reload_force=False, app='welcome')[source]

In apps, instead of importing a local module (in applications/app/modules) with:

import a.b.c as d

you should do:

d = local_import('a.b.c')

or (to force a reload):

d = local_import(‘a.b.c’, reload=True)

This prevents conflict between applications and un-necessary execs. It can be used to import any module, including regular Python modules.

gluon.compileapp.model_cmp(a, b, sep='.')[source]
gluon.compileapp.model_cmp_sep(a, b, sep='/')[source]
class gluon.compileapp.mybuiltin[source]

Bases: object

NOTE could simple use a dict and populate it, NOTE not sure if this changes things though if monkey patching import.....

gluon.compileapp.re_compile(regex)[source]
gluon.compileapp.read_pyc(filename)[source]

Read the code inside a bytecode compiled file if the MAGIC number is compatible

Returns:a code object
gluon.compileapp.remove_compiled_application(folder)[source]

Deletes the folder compiled containing the compiled application.

gluon.compileapp.run_controller_in(controller, function, environment)[source]

Runs the controller.function() (for the app specified by the current folder). It tries pre-compiled controller_function.pyc first before compiling it.

gluon.compileapp.run_models_in(environment)[source]

Runs all models (in the app specified by the current folder) It tries pre-compiled models first before compiling them.

gluon.compileapp.run_view_in(environment)[source]

Executes the view for the requested action. The view is the one specified in response.view or determined by the url or view/generic.extension It tries the pre-compiled views_controller_function.pyc before compiling it.

gluon.compileapp.save_pyc(filename)[source]

Bytecode compiles the file filename

gluon.compileapp.test()[source]

Example:

>>> import traceback, types
>>> environment={'x':1}
>>> open('a.py', 'w').write('print 1/x')
>>> save_pyc('a.py')
>>> os.unlink('a.py')
>>> if type(read_pyc('a.pyc'))==types.CodeType: print 'code'
code
>>> exec read_pyc('a.pyc') in environment
