importing models into modules

[LightOfMooN]

Hello!

How can I import some function from models to my module?

for example:

mymodel.py:

def func1():

    return 'qwe'

how to call this function from

mymodule.py?

I found just one solution:

in mymodule.py:

from gluon import current

current.globalenv['func1']()

It works, but I'm not sure that it's the right thing to do.

In your model you can do:

from gluon import current
from gluon.storage import Storage
current.model_functions = Storage(func1=func1)

and then access current.model_functions.func1 in the module.

But a better approach would probably be to define the shared functions in a module somewhere, and then import the functions in both your model files and your other modules.
