How do I view text on view.html

[Maurice Waka]

 My code:

class Person():
     name = 'Victor'
     def say(self, what):
         print(self.name, what)

getattr(person, attr_name)

How do I display 'Victor' on web2py html.view?

I tried using:

{{=getattr(person, attr_name)}}
 

 I know this could be wrong and I cant get a result either

You should create and action for that view and pass it in dictionary to the view

This doesn't look anything like typical web2py code. I would recommend that you read some of the book and follow the typical patterns and then come back with questions if you're having trouble. In general, though, note that you won't be using the print statement to display anything in HTML pages -- print is for printing to the console.

If you want to get 'Victor' in a view you could do something simple like:

Controller:
def name_return():
     name = 'Victor'
     return dict(name=name)

view name_return.html:

{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{=name)

I guess you need to familiarize yourself more with not just with web2py but also with web development, right?

Anthony is right, you should read web2py book at www.web2py.com/book, at least the first chapters to get a start.

At first you need to understand MVC.

For example you may have:

in db.py (Model)

class Person():
     name = 'Victor'

in default.py (Controler)

def index():

    person = Person()

    return dict(person=person)

in default/index.html (View)

{{=person.name}}
