Thanks. I can't tell you how happy I am that it works!
For clarity's sake, the solution that seems easiest is...
def _test():
from gluon.sqlhtml import form_factory
from gluon.sql import SQLField
form=form_factory(SQLField('email'))
return dict(form=form)
The line " from gluon.sql import SQLField" should be added to any
form_factory import to ensure it works on GAE as well as the web2py
server. In other words, the additional import is required to make
form_factory fully portable.
Thanks again.
