so, i did a lot of digging and experimenting. it came down to adding this
line:
response.meta.keywords = ""
so, i'm guessing instantiating keywords as a string forced it to be of type
string. and i confirmed with the final html in the browser and verified it
was outputting the string of keywords and it is.
so, in conclusion, i think there is a bug in 2.20.4 of web2py and that a
line of code should be added to instantiate the response.meta.keywords = ""
to force it to type string.
