[ Python Tutorial ] [ Python Libraries ] [ web2py epydoc ]

Description


        Import records from csv file.
        Column headers must have same names as table fields.
        Field 'id' is ignored.
        If column names read 'table.file' the 'table.' prefix is ignored.

        - 'unique' argument is a field which must be unique (typically a
          uuid field)
        - 'restore' argument is default False; if set True will remove old values
          in table first.
        - 'id_map' if set to None will not map ids

        The import will keep the id numbers in the restored table.
        This assumes that there is an field of type id that is integer and in
        incrementing order.
        Will keep the id numbers in restored table.

DAL.Table.import_from_csv_file.__class__	<type 'type'> extends (<type 'object'>,) belongs to class <type 'type'> instancemethod(function, instance, class) Create an instance method object.

DAL.Table.import_from_csv_file.__cmp__	<type 'method-wrapper'> belongs to class <type 'method-wrapper'> x.__cmp__(y) <==> cmp(x,y)

DAL.Table.import_from_csv_file.__init__	<type 'method-wrapper'> belongs to class <type 'method-wrapper'> x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

DAL.Table.import_from_csv_file.__new__	<type 'builtin_function_or_method'> belongs to class <type 'builtin_function_or_method'> T.__new__(S, ...) -> a new object with type S, a subtype of T

DAL.Table.import_from_csv_file.__subclasshook__	<type 'builtin_function_or_method'> belongs to class <type 'builtin_function_or_method'> Abstract classes can override this to customize issubclass(). This is invoked early on by abc.ABCMeta.__subclasscheck__(). It should return True, False or NotImplemented. If it returns NotImplemented, the normal algorithm is used. Otherwise, it overrides the normal algorithm (and the outcome is cached).
