Getting <type 'exceptions.ImportError'> cannot import name table_field after upgrading to 2.12.3

[Rahul]

Hi All,
       Recently I upgraded to version 2.12.3 and  I am getting this type exception  - I am using Plugin solidtable -  Is there something that needs to be done differently or something that needs to be changed? Please suggest - Note: On version 2.9.5 it used to working just fine.

<type 'exceptions.ImportError'> cannot import name table_field

  File "D:/web2py2.12.3/web2py/web2py/applications/AHM/models/db.py", line 26, in <module>
    from plugin_solidtable import SOLIDTABLE
  File "D:\web2py2.12.3\web2py\web2py\gluon\custom_import.py", line 95, in custom_importer
    return base_importer(pname, globals, locals, fromlist, level)
  File "applications\AHM\modules\plugin_solidtable.py", line 5, in <module>
    from gluon.sqlhtml import table_field, represent, Row
ImportError: cannot import name table_field

Please suggest - Rahul

I had similar problems which convinced me to to stop using solidtable.

Thanks for getting back with replies

For me I looked at the fix 
----

Added 2 lines to modules/plugin_solidtable.py

import re
table_field = re.compile('[\w_]+\.[\w_]+')

I chose to add table_field statement to _create_td(...) function, where it is used.

However I was not able to make it work. :-(

Next up  is suggestions for a checkbox enabled table -  Does SQLForm.grid() suppport checkboxes for selecting multiple records and doing something with them (probably mass delete or mass actions like merge etc ??)

Cheers Rahul.
