Hi,

I'm having difficulty getting results from a permanent view using
couchdb-python.
I'm not sure this is the correct place to ask. Apologies if it is not.

I've successfully called temporary views and stepped through results (just
to verify them), but my understanding is that temporary views do not build a
permanent b-tree index on the data (which is what I'd really like to be
accessing).

I created a permanent view a few different ways:

   - via futon:
   In Map Function I've added the barebones map fn:
   function(doc){emit(doc._id, null);}
   and hit SaveAS, named the view, the view is now accessible via the drop
   down.

   - via couchdb-python:
   <python snippet>
   view = ViewDefinition('mytest', 'myall', '''function(doc) {emit(doc._id,
   null);}''')
   view.get_doc(db)
   view.sync(db)
   </python snippet>
   and this also is accessible via the drop down in futon.

   - via couchdb-python:
   <python snippet>
   class MyDoc(Document):
       type = TextField()
       tags = ListField(IntegerField)
       added = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now())
       myDocByTag = View('mydocbytag', '''function(doc) {emit(doc._id,
   null);}''')
   </python snippet>

   I then create instances of this class and store them using: <class
   instance>.store(db)
   The class instances are correctly stored as documents in couchdb.
   This view is *not* stored in couchdb (i.e. I can't see it in the drop
   down in futon).
   Trying to invoke this view via:
   res = MyDoc.myDocByTag(db, count=3)
   print str(res)
   print dir(res)
   for r in res:
     print str(r)

   returns:
   <ViewResults <PermanentView '_view/mydocbytag/byTag'> {'count': 3}>

   ['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__getattribute__',
   '__getitem__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__iter__', '__len__', '__module__',
   '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__',
   '__str__', '__weakref__', '_fetch', '_get_offset', '_get_rows',
   '_get_total_rows', '_offset', '_rows', '_total_rows', 'offset', 'options',
   'rows', 'total_rows', 'view']

Discounting the last view, I can't seem to access the first two via
couchdb-python.

I've tried:
view = db.view('mytest/myall')
print str(view)
>>> <ViewResults <PermanentView '_view/mytest/myall'> {}>
So it's definitely finding the view correctly
(otherwise I'd see a:
couchdb.client.ResourceNotFound: (u'not_found', u'missing')
error).

for r in view:
  print r.id
# this prints nothing, there are no rows in view


I've tried messing around with the PermanentView class, or invoking the
permanent view via the MyDoc class, but no luck.

I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I need some help.
Apologies for the long winded email.

Cheers,
-Craig
