For more details about command line options and the shell, see http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#Command-Line-Options. Another option is to use the web-based interactive shell in the admin interface. On the Edit Application page, it's the "Shell" button under "Controllers". It's discussed in the book here: http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/03#More-on-admin Anthony
