I used web2py some years ago and produced a program generator (http://www.web2pyslices.com/slice/show/2060/generator-for-web2py) which met with universal disinterest...
However someone has asked whether it could work with py4web and so I have had a quick look at it. There are minor Python 3 issues which are easily fixed but when I start to look at the web2py interface I immediately come across a problem: the code makes us of the 'current' structure, in particular it uses current.request to obtain the POST data and there appears to be no such structure in py4web.
I have checked the py4web documentation and it does say in the PyDAL chapter, under ;'Model-less applications' "...and provide necessary access to global scope via the current object (as described in Chapter 4)." but Chapter 4 does not contain any details. Perhaps this contains a lot of text from the web2py docs and will have corrections and more py4web content included later.
Obviously this is not of any real relevance to py4web itself but I just wondered whether it is intended that 'current' or an equivalent is or will be available in py4web or is there any simple (because I don't want to take up too much of your time) work around.
Thanks

I was not aware of it. Could you post some screen shots? maybe an example of a generated app?
Unless you use grids it should be easy to port it to py4web.

I'll certainly give more details when it's working - the original web2pyslices posting was in 2016.
But my problem at the moment is where is 'current.request' ? That was in
from web2py.gluon import current
but despite importing py4web (and pydal) there seems to be no 'current' structure. As I mentioned the documentation isn't really helpful in this.
I'm currently using a 20190929 build (via Pycharm) and py4web itself will run.

py4web has no current and does not need it it.
from py4web import request
and just use request in your actions. Mind this is a bottlepy request, not the same as the web2py request object.

Thanks Massimo, that will probably sort it out, I've had a quick look at bottle and should be able to amend the code appropriately.
I'll post again when it appears to be working, which, hopefully, won't be very long
