You should do:
from gluon.sql import SQLCustomType
pickle =
SQLCustomType(
type
='text',
native
='text',
encoder = (lambda x:
cPickle.dumps(s)),
decoder = (lambda x: cPikcle.loads(s))
)
Field('mypickle',pickle)
**** SQLCustomField may disappear in the new DAL in faviour of a more
customizable mechanism ****
