Module shell

Environment builder and module loader.

Builds a web2py environment and optionally executes a Python file into the environment. A Storage dictionary containing the resulting environment is returned. The working directory must be web2py root -- this is the web2py default.

Return web2py execution environment for application (a), controller (c), function (f). If import_models is True the exec all application models into the evironment.

Start interactive shell or run Python script (startfile) in web2py controller environment. appname is formatted like:

a web2py application name a/c exec the controller c into the application environment

Parse path info formatted like a/c/f where c and f are optional and a leading / accepted. Return tuple (a,c,f). If invalid path_info a is set to None. If c or f are omitted they are set to None.

Run doctests in web2py environment. testpath is formatted like:

a tests all controllers in application a a/c tests controller c in application a a/c/f test function f in controller c, application a

Where a, c and f are application, controller and function names respectively. If the testpath is a file name the file is tested. If a controller is specified models are executed by default.
