Hello all,

Does py4web already have a shell like web2py?

Thanks

It does not need it. You can use a regular python shell and do:

from py4web import *

from apps.myapp.models import db

etc.

py4web unlike web2py has not magic and apps are modules.

Massimo,

Tried what you suggested, but got this error.

Python 3.6.8 (default, Aug 20 2019, 17:12:48)

[GCC 8.3.0] on linux

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> from py4web import *

>>> from apps.todo.models import db

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

File "/home/tecno2/py4web/apps/myapp/__init__.py", line 15, in <module>

@action.uses(session) # action needs a session object (read/write cookies)

File "/home/tecno2/py4web/py4web/core.py", line 494, in __call__

app_name = action.app_name

AttributeError: type object 'action' has no attribute 'app_name'

>>>

Something wrong here ??

Hi again....

There seems to be a problem with ipython when imports py4web...

Are you aware of it ?
