Alex I think you're slightly confused, let me explain.
This was the original controller function I suggested.
def locateme():
import json
from gluon.tools import fetch
location_data = json.loads(fetch('http://ipinfo.io/%s/json' % request.
client))
return location_data
Note that it returns location_data, what is location data? Well it's a dict
because that's what the API returns and the json module takes care of that
for us.
In web2py, controller functions that return dicts make the keys in that
dictionary available in the view. So in the view you shouldn't be acessing
location_data directly you should be accessing its keys.
To further illustrate I could rewrite locateme like this
def locateme():
import json
from gluon.tools import fetch
location_data = json.loads(fetch('http://ipinfo.io/%s/json' % request.
client))
return dict(city=location_data[u'city'], region=location_data[u'region'],
country=location_data[u'country'],)
But this would be superfluous because location_data is already a dict I can
perfectly well return.
