allow pyDAL from pypi on web2py?

[Giovanni Barillari]

Hi all,

I was thinking about the current implementation of pyDAL inside web2py. It refuses to start if pyDAL isn't inside gluon/packages/dal.

Do we want to allow users to use a previous installed pydal package via pypi with web2py?

Eg. changing the gluon/__init__.py check to try importing directly the module and then from packages/dal

What do you think?

If we want to ensure the usage of a specific version of pyDAL we can still do that.

I think that is to have a "safe way" to assume that the web2py you're running comes from a recursive clone, i.e. you're using the pydal version web2py was shipped with.

Then, if users want to disrupt everything manually copying a newer pydal into it it's completely their fault.

And, BTW, I would not recommend importing from sistem-wide packages a more recent pydal version without web2py knowing it.

I agree
