[web2py] Using Modules Class - AttributeError: 'Engine' object has no attribute 'form'

[Brando]

I'm testing using Classes within my Modules to handle a lot of the heavy 
lifting.  I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong here.  I need an adult.


#No Model

#Controller: devices.py
from general import Engine

def upload():
    page = Engine()
    form = page.form()
    return dict(form=form)

#Module: general.py
from gluon import *
import os

class Engine(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.request = current.request
def form(self):
filedir = os.path.join(self.request.folder, 'data', 'configs/')
return SQLFORM.factory(Field('config', 'upload', uploadfolder=filedir), 
table_name='raw_config').process()


#View: upload.html
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<h1>This is a form</h1>
{{=form)}}
