Thanks for answers, i will try that. Now, what about task "get object if exists, or create and get object if it doesn't exist"?
I use folowing construction: object_o="" try: q= db.t_table.f_name == "some name" object_o=next(iter(db(q).select())) except: object_o=db.t_table(db.t_table.insert(f_name="some name")) As result i have a database-wired object_o Any ideas how to make this piece of code more beautiful?
