Module compileapp

LOADs a component into the action's document

Args:
    c(str): controller
    f(str): function
    args(tuple or list): arguments
    vars(dict): vars
    extension(str): extension
    target(str): id of the target
    ajax(bool): True to enable AJAX bahaviour
    ajax_trap(bool): True if `ajax` is set to `True`, traps
        both links and forms "inside" the target
    url(str): overrides `c`,`f`,`args` and `vars`
    user_signature(bool): adds hmac signature to all links
        with a key that is different for every user
    timeout(int): in milliseconds, specifies the time to wait before
        starting the request or the frequency if times is greater than
        1 or "infinity"
    times(integer or str): how many times the component will be requested
        "infinity" or "continuous" are accepted to reload indefinitely the
        component

In apps, instead of importing a local module
(in applications/app/modules) with::

   import a.b.c as d

you should do::

   d = local_import('a.b.c')

or (to force a reload):

   d = local_import('a.b.c', reload=True)

This prevents conflict between applications and un-necessary execs.
It can be used to import any module, including regular Python modules.

Read the code inside a bytecode compiled file if the MAGIC number is
compatible

Returns:
    a code object

Runs the controller.function() (for the app specified by the current folder). It tries pre-compiled controller_function.pyc first before compiling it.

Executes the view for the requested action. The view is the one specified in `response.view` or determined by the url or `view/generic.extension` It tries the pre-compiled views_controller_function.pyc before compiling it.

Example:

   >>> import traceback, types
   >>> environment={'x':1}
   >>> open('a.py', 'w').write('print 1/x')
   >>> save_pyc('a.py')
   >>> os.unlink('a.py')
   >>> if type(read_pyc('a.pyc'))==types.CodeType: print 'code'
   code
   >>> exec read_pyc('a.pyc') in environment
   1
