In order to determine which functions in a controller file to expose as
actions, web2py uses the following regex (the intention is to identify only
functions that take no arguments and don't start with a double underscore):
'^def\s+(?P<name>_?[a-zA-Z0-9]\w*)\( *\)\s*:'
As you can see, this does not support type hints. Feel free to open an
issue on Github or submit a pull request to allow type hints.
In the meantime, you can create a separate function with the type hint and
call that function from within a non-hinted action:
def get_approval():
return hinted_get_approval()
