auth is not available in module
I was getting a very similar error ("name 'auth' is not defined"). Had to add from django.contrib import auth at the top of views.py and it worked.
I have a web2py application where I have written various modules which hold business logic and database related stuff. In one of the files I am trying to access auth.settings.table_user_name but it doesn't work and throws and error as global name 'auth' is not defined. If I write the same line in controller, it works. But I want it to be accessed in module file. Please suggest how do I do that.
