Hi,
what is the best way to have settings depending on the environment? I
know this question has been asked a couple of times before but I could
not find any useful answers.
I want to run multiple instances of my application for multiple
customers, which also means a different db connection for each
instance. I did not see an (elegant) solution in web2py for this
problem. I do not want to create a new package for each instance which
would be really annoying to do for each deployment. Currently I'm
passing the db settings as environment variables. For me this feels
more like a hack but at least it worked - so far. Now I want to run
cron jobs with external cron. This is a problem because I can't pass
the environment settings (which I would have to hard code a second
time anyway), so I can't access the db in the cron job tasks.
It would really be great if web2py had some config settings like in
most other frameworks.

sorry, I don't understand your answer. What does mult tenance mean?
There is no description for tenant in the request documentation. When
I access request.tenant in my local app it is None.

There is something in the book (http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/6?search=tenant)
but I must admit that it is not quite clear to me from that documentation how to use it.
Look for the heading
Common fields and multi-tenancy
in the book.
