The issue wasnt completely resolved that way, there were problems with list:reference in updates and some weird behaviour, always involving lists but no simple references, so I debugged my way down to the web2py code and finally found the problem.
In the line 6860 of the file gluon/dal.py, this is written: return (refs and ', '.join(str(f(r,x.id)) for x in refs) or '') Instead, this code below should be written (as is in the case of a non list reference except for the loop): return (refs and ', '.join(f(r,x.id) for x in refs) or '') [eliminate de str()] This plus the little code stated before solves the encoding problems in GAE, now all the format attributes work as expected. My version of web2py is 2.5.1-stable+timestamp.2013.06.06.15.39.19 I think this change would be OK, I dont know what the developers would think about this. Thanks Massimo for this great tool.
