Okay, that makes sense. I do intend to make custom views, even more so
now. For now, default/index.html is just:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{=grid}}
Thanks!

Oops, sorry -- the default/index.html view that comes with the scaffolding app includes
{{=BEAUTIFY(response._vars)}} when there is no "message" or "content" variable
returned, which is
the same thing the generic.html view does when more than one variable is
returned.
Keep in mind that if you want to control the display of your data, you do need
to create customized views. The generic views (including the generic code built
into the default
index.html view) can't know exactly how you would want to display multiple
items returned from the controller.

The default/index.html view exists (the default "simple app" one), so
it's not clear to me why it is using generic.html.
The index() function does not explicitly define any other variables, but
the "grid:" is displayed even if the index() function returns
dict(grid=grid).
