How to import 'configuration' into a module

[Andrew Rogers]

I want to use the auth functionality in a module.

I think I need to do this:

auth = Auth(db, host_names=configuration.get('host.names'))

Which means I need:

from gluon.tools import Auth

But how do I import the 'configuration' module?

I couldn't find any mention of it here:

https://web2py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

Thanks

I found the answer 2 seconds after I posted the question which I did 20 minutes after looking through a lot of pages and code.

from gluon.contrib.appconfig import AppConfig 

from gluon.tools import Auth  

configuration = AppConfig()
