you can pass it as var with a json dict then convert it back to a
python dict
from gluon.contrib import simplejson
a = {'a': 'foo', 'b': 'bar'}
redirect(URL(r=request,
f='scmView.html',vars=dict(mydict = simplejson.dumps(a))
def scmView():
a = simplejson.loads(request.vars.mydict) if request.vars.mydict else
{}
