modules: NameError("name 'reload' is not defined",)

[Serge Bourgeois]

I have an issue saving my modues with the last version of web2py.

Is there something I do wrong?

Context: Ubuntu 18.04 / web2py version 2.20.4 / python 3.6.9

How to reproduce this issue (a bug??) with a simple example:

In the applications examples, create a module (for instance empty.py)

Then open it,

=> url: 127.0.0.1:8000/admin/default/edit/examples/modules/empty.py?id=modules__empty__py

The file contains 3 lines:

#!/usr/bin/env python

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from gluon import *

do not change anything and save it (ctrl + S)...

=> Since the last version, I get the following message:

 Impossible de recharger le module car:

 NameError("name 'reload' is not defined",)

Thanks for any advise...

same error, though with a lot more than 3 lines

I reported the same problem some time ago.

When I edit a module and save it I get this nameError. Since I am

importing the modules into other applications I have to restart web2py

everytime I edit a module.

Further more the module are no longer compiled on first use, which

I also find very annoying.

Hi,

I already open a conversation about this but no complete answers were given.

I ran from source and experience the same error.

Cheers,

I see there is an open issue on git from 8 days ago:

https://github.com/web2py/web2py/issues/2341 

So just FYI it is already reported. 

Its a strange error. 

Must be somewhere in the module save function and after save it should trigger the compile which obviously does not work anymore either. 

Should be a small thing

I am completely out of my depth re this issue. But I just read the following on the py4web group and wondered whether it might be related.

Proper use of modules

Q from Richard: Where do modules go?

A I think proper modules should be installed with pip but if you want to distribute the source of

your own pure python module with an app I say place it under a new folder

apps/yourapp/modules and make sure there is an "__init__.py" in there. Do not install it in

the path otherwise may interfere with modules with similar names used by other apps in the

same apps. Related Q: So "__init__.py" lives in apps/yourapp/modules? A: Not any module

will work this way. files in the module must use the "from . xyz import" notation and not

"from thismodule import" notation

Any subfolder of an app that contains python code should have an __init__.py

empty one

Hi,

Looking for the solution to this matter also.

When using from gluon.custom_import import track_changes; track_changes(True)

File "web2py/gluon/custom_import.py", line 109, in __call__
result = NATIVE_IMPORTER(name, globals, locals, fromlist, level)

When not using from gluon.custom_import import track_changes; track_changes(True)

 for itemname in name.split("."):
                new_mod = base_importer( modules_prefix, globals, locals, (itemname,), level)
                modules_prefix += "." + itemname

Var new_mod is never used why?

File mytest.py is placed under the modules folder.

Regards,
