Yes, if you define a class in a model, all the web2py globals would be available. One thing to note, because models are executed by the framework, make sure your classes do not include a __del__ method, as that can cause a memory leak. > 2. You mentioned the option of writing modules to import. What's the best > location for these? In the 'static' directory? You should put modules in /myapp/modules. If you have /myapp/modules/mymodule.py, then all you have to do to import it is 'import mymodule.py', and the web2py custom importer will look in the application's 'modules' folder before checking the rest of sys.path.
