There's a model file called 'buttons.py' in the models folder that defines
the helpicon() function. It may seem odd to put that in the "models" folder,
but one useful thing about model files is that they are executed on every
request, so everything in them is available in all controllers and views.
Because of that, some people put site-wide helper functions in model files.
