web2py console
I finally (re-)learned how to get into the web2py application without a browser to test code.
I don’t know if that’s something that can be leveraged to write proper unit tests,
but python web2py.py --shell appname --import_models
seems to do the trick nicely for interactive exploration.
This should speed up testing “what query do I need and how do I process the results” which has been hit or miss for me in the past (I do a lot of looking at error tickets and backtraces in web2py).
