I'm using web2py to create a page where I search for books based on title/author/keyword/etc. and ISBN, and I can't seem to figure out how to use isbntools in the webapp. I'm sure it's something basic that I'm missing out on, but this is the first webapp that I've ever created, and it's for a class project. This is the related portion of my controller:
from isbntools import *
def index():
form=SQLFORM.factory(
Field('title',label='Try entering a title:'),
Field('author',label='Or an author:'),
Field('ISBN',label='Even better if you have the ISBN'),
Field('fromDate',label='When is the earliest the book might have come out?'),
Field('toDate',label='...and the latest?'))
if form.process().accepted:
titledata = isbn_goom form.vars.title bibtex
authordata = isbn_goom form.vars.author bibtex
isbndata = isbn_meta merge form.vars.ISBN bibtex
print(titledata)
print(authordata)
print(isbndata)
return dict(form=form)
This is a portion of the ticket information I'm getting back:
