Web2py import modules

I have modules in the modules path in web2py and to import those modules i just put

import mymodule

it works perfectly but SOMETIME and somehow it crushs and show an error saying

ImportError: No module named mymodule

i wanted to use local_import but it's no more supported in Web2py > 1.99.5

to fix it i delete all .pyc in web2py/gluon then it works but sometime not

and even if everything work well, when i edit a module i must restart web2py to get the new modifaction!

I think sometimes you get that error when there's an error in the imported module itself (i.e., it doesn't properly pass through the real error). Try importing and using the module from a standard Python shell and see if there's an error in the module that needs to be fixed.

i wanted to use local_import but it's no more supported in Web2py > 1.99.5

local_import should still work, it's just no longer the preferred method. If it doesn't work, please report it as a bug.

when i edit a module i must restart web2py to get the new modifaction

Yes, that's how Python works. However, during development, you can have web2py automatically reload upon changes by doing the following:

from gluon.custom_import import track_changes; track_changes(True)
