I'm trying to use a standalone version of web2py's DAL. I have looked at a couple other posts (here and the link referenced therein) but still haven't been able to solve the problem. What I have done is copied the gluon folder from the web2py directory into my diretory, and then I do an import statement such as:
from gluon import DAL, Field
which causes the following error:
File "/home/ec2-user/myproject/gluon/globals.py", line 26, in <module>
from gluon.utils import web2py_uuid, secure_dumps, secure_loads ImportError: cannot import name secure_dumps
I've checked that utils.py exists in the gluons folder and the secure_dumps function is defined therein. Appreciate if anyone can provide some advice on how to resolve this error.
The solution to this problem was to use gluino instead of gluon. gluino is a port of web2py to Bottle and other web frameworks and can be downloaded here.
