You're doing nothing wrong, it's just the way the ConfigParser module works in python, remember that the only thing you have in a config file are strings, config files are not Python. Luckily AppConfig take has a cast argument which you can use for this. So instead of tasks = ('Call', 'Meet', 'Email') myconf.take('dropdown_choices.tasks')
Do this in your appconfig.ini [dropdown_choices] tasks = Call,Meet,Email And in your model do this myconf.take('dropdown_choices.tasks', cast=lambda foo: foo.split(',')) -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
