You could also grab a copy of WingIDE form www.wingware.com - I haven't used to free "101" version, but I think you can inspect local variables the same way - so to do this there, set a breakpoint, in your function, separate the assignment from the return (so it is easier to inspect little by little what is going on), e.g.: def my_controller_function: # ... stuff.... form=crud() # now you can stop and inspect all the elements of this send_to_view = dict( form ) return send_to_view See if that helps you... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
