I encountered a problem in the mywiki example of the tutorial in Chapter 3 of the book.
Mac OS X 10.6.8 web2py 1.98.2 downloaded as source Python 7.2.2 (EPD 7.1-1) When I tried to run the example in the book for item in server.find_by('wiki'): print item.created_on, item.title it raised an exception that item did not have a created_on attribute. Instead, I changed it to item['created_on'] and item['title'], and it worked fine. Maybe xmlrpc no longer returns items as objects, but as dicts instead? Thanks in advance.
