from gluon.contrib import something should be the recommended way to import something from contrib let's not forget all the hassle we've been into dealing with from gluon import module vs import module and be smart about it ^___^ BTW2: Isn't including contrib in sys.path just the same thing as shipping pg8000 and all the "nifty importers" in site-packages ?!?!?
