Thanks for your help Massimo
Although now I'm getting this error:
File"/home/daniel/dev/tempw2p/web2py/gluon/dal.py",line5496,instartswith
return self.type.startswith(self,text)
TypeError:slice indices must be integersor None orhave an __index__ method

Hello, I tried making a query like this:
db(db.table.field.contains(1)).select()
where the field is a SQLCustomType with type 'list:integer' and native
'int(11)'
The query does not work because of this function in gluon.dal.SQLCustomType:
def startswith(self, dummy=None):
return False
Why does this always return false?
I get this exception from gluon.dal.Expression in the contains function:
if not self.type in ('string', 'text') and not
*self.type.startswith('list:')*:
raise SyntaxError, "contains used with incompatible field type"
Am i missing something? Is this not supposed to be allowed?
