In Python, you cannot access dict items that way -- it would have to be: session[request.controller]['column_select_value'] Or you could do: from gluon.storage import Storage session[request.controller] = Storage() Then you can use session[request.controller].column_select_value, and you don't even have to test whether "column_select_value" is one of the keys -- Storage objects simply return None when you try to access a key that doesn't exist. Also, side note -- with a Python dict, instead of "if 'mykey' in mydict.keys()" you can just do "if 'mykey' in mydict". Anthony
