plugin_solidtable: "cannot import name table_field" with current web2py stable 2.9.6

[ghost]

Hi,

when using the plugin_solidtable with the current web2py stable 2.9.6 an import error is shown:

cannot import name table_field

This is caused by the import here:

sqlabs/modules/plugin_solidtable.py

Line 5 in f3c5e9f

from gluon.sqlhtml import table_field, represent, Row

The current gluon/sqlhtml.py of web2py is missing this table_field as described here:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.web2py/129704

There is also a possible solution posted.

One suggested solution is:

"put int in plugin_solidtable.py and add "import re" to that file."

Since gluon/sqlhtml.py is not likely to be changed to fix this, is anyone planning an update to this plugin?

[GGAnderson]

OK. So I tested this solution and it seems to work. Added 2 lines to modules/plugin_solidtable.py

import re
table_field = re.compile('[\w_]+\.[\w_]+')

I chose to add table_field statement to _create_td(...) function, where it is used.
