hi Massimo,
didn't realize exec_environment was not recommended. Perhaps that
could be mentioned in the manual (p 125).
How would you recommend I import my model? I created models/
__init__.py and then tried:
>>> from gluon.sql import SQLDB
>>> from applications.test.models import db
which threw "NameError: name 'SQLDB' is not defined"
